On November 15 and 16, Young America’s Foundation welcomed more than 250 students and supporters to the Fall College Retreat and President’s Club Weekend in Arlington, Virginia. The program began with a rotation of breakout sessions led by YAF staff: Media Bootcamp by Chief Communications Officer Spencer Brown, Activism Mentality by Vice President Pat Coyle, Legal Rights by Associate General Counsel Madison Hahn, and Design Principles by Program Assistant for Graphics and Illustration Mary Wetterling. That evening, students and supporters enjoyed receptions prior to the opening dinner, which featured commentator and author Vince Everett Ellison. During his remarks, Ellison exposed the Left’s radicalism and the importance of standing up for the truth.
