KOREAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE CLUB

Welcome to Exeter Korean Language and Culture Club! The most important

purpose of this club is to spread the idea and knowledge of the Korean

Language. How to read and write, to understand the language. We will also

look into Korean ilms and shows, datas to analyze and understand the culture.

Korean is known as one of the hardest languages to learn. Many high school

institutions do not even oer the course, reducing the possibility to reach

luency for many foreign students. However, as the Korean wave has become

an inluential global phenomenon since the beginning of 21st century, intense

fandom culture inspired and motivated global populations to learn more

about the culture and language. Exeter Korean Language and Culture Club

will be available for more diverse students to learn the actual Korean language

and look at ilms and or presentations about its culture.We have seen and

encountered many Exonians, mostly non-Korean Exonians, who expressed their

interests in learning the Korean language (by inluence of K-pop, etc). We felt

that there isn’t a place where these devoted students to have the opportunity

to learn the Korean language. This club will best be a place to mutually

collaborate to gain what you desire.It will be a very low commitment club.

KOREAN SOCIETY

Korean Society is a great place to meet Korean Exonians and Exonians

interested in Korean culture; we are open to all! We meet once a week over

MOCK TRIAL CLUB

The Phillips Exeter Academy’s Mock Trial Team was founded in 2011.

Since then the team has claimed seventeen individual titles, ive all-

around state titles, and a top-ten spot at the National High School Mock

Trial Championship. Every season, the club is composed of roughly

30 members, split into three dierent teams. In the teams, students

work together, playing both lawyer and witness roles. Lawyers work

on presenting opening statements and cross examinations during

trials whereas witnesses work on developing their character in direct

examinations. Throughout the year, all club members collaborate to

analyze several dierent cases for the three tournaments we are typically

involved in: the Yale Bulldog tournament, BG, and states. Members

become familiar with courtroom presentation, public speaking, and

develop strong bonds with others. As one of our past coheads put it,

“When I irst started Mock Trial, I considered quitting. The material was

dense, the objections were confusing, and my understanding was foggy.

But I stuck with it. And I’m so glad I did. Mock Trial has truly been one

of the most positive inluences on my life during my time at Exeter. My

teammates have become some of my greatest friends, and the cases have

become some of my favorite problems to work through. I admit the cases

are diicult, the hours are long, but I promise, if you give it a chance, Mock

Trial can, and will, change your life.” — Samuel Farnsworth.

NATURAL HISTORY: A KEY TO THE FUTURE OF LIFE

Natural history is a discipline of science that is often overlooked.

The 2020s is an era signiicant for two factors: the imploration of

extraterrestrial life and persisting climate change. The study of the path

that life has hitherto walked can provide great insights for life’s future:

how did life begin in a place previously deemed inhabitable, and how

did life persist through its greatest cataclysmic events? In this club, we

will not only be studying and familiarizing ourselves with a summary and

major events in the history of life on Earth, but we will also explore how

certain concepts can be applied to the challenges of today. How have

interglacial periods posed challenges for life, and how did life overcome

them? Looking at highly carbonated historical periods such as the

Carboniferous and the early Triassic, how can the severity and possible

solutions to today’s climate crisis be hypothesized? With the aid of human

technology, can the developmental process of complex life be replicated

on potential life-bearing destinations such as Titan or Europa to establish

a basis for a sustainable ecosystem? Our club will be answering such

questions through group discussions and other forms of exploration.

We may also may invite guest speakers and even obtain opportunities

of study to compare the past to the modern world or about similarities

between potential extraterrestrial life destinations and the Siderian Earth

undergoing rapid oxygenation and eukaryotic development. We also

aspire to share our ideals regarding natural history with the student body

through writing in the Exonian and other means.

NEUROSCIENCE CLUB

Come to Neuroscience Club for a welcoming environment where we talk

neuroscience experience required. Come for a fun time!
