Reflections from Graduates of the Critical & Creative Thinking Program
The basic model for these events is that each presenter has 10-20 minutes to explain their work and reflect on how this has developed in relation to their CCT experiences. We ask the audience to write down or hold onto questions till the end of the presentations. Then we have a discussion that includes all the presenters and commentators drawn from the wider CCT community and/or the UMB faculty. The event is audio-taped and available (after cleanup, and with presenters' permission) as a podcast linked to the CCT wiki and social network site.

The evenings are a wonderful experience in their own right, but we also see them as part of the CCT Network's effort to acquaint alums who have overlapping interests with each other and thereby provide a model for current students of a wider and more sustained network of support for their endeavors during and after their studies. After all, the CCT faculty can remember students from various years, but these graduates may never have met -- and they form a network of contacts, inspiration, and expertise far more extensive than the faculty can provide.
