Powell Newsle)er No. 3 January, 2016 Thoughts from the Director Dr. Cynthia Wagner Weick Powell Scholars Newsletter Robert and Jeanne6e Powell The Coast Redwoods that grow in Big Sur, California belong to the tallest tree species on earth. They can reach over 350 feet in height, 20 feet in diameter, and live up to 2000 years. planned. What has endured, however, is their desire to reach high levels of performance in their next steps, to make an important contribuKon to the world, and to conKnue to broaden their outlook and experiences in life. What else will last? With hope, rich relaKonships will endure within this cohort of seniors and across the broader Powell Scholar community of students, all of whom came together for the common purpose of finding and following their passions. The persistence of these living monuments despite fire, rain, and drought reminds me of stability and endurance in a world of change. The choice of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park as the seOng for this year’s Powell Scholar senior capstone retreat turned out to be ideal. A recurring theme in the discussions regarded what varies and what remains the same. Once the system has been pilot tested at the Food Bank for a few weeks, the team will iterate it as needed. Then on April 9, the Powell Scholars will unveil Verdevis to students in the Calaveras School System, who intend to use it as an educaKonal tool to complement their outdoor gardens. The Powell Scholars have also authored a book for use in the schools, which addresses sustainability, renewable resources, the biology behind plant growth, and other scienKfic aspects of the system. The book encourages readers to experiment and improve the system itself, and to pursue innovaKve soluKons to the many problems faced in the world today. A website will make others beyond these iniKal users aware of the system and benefits of microgreens. Ideally the system will be used more widely in other food banks and schools in the future. Last thoughts on the senior retreat. What impressed me most was the students’ recogniKon that we are all works in progress, especially when it comes to being leaders. Over our lifeKmes and in different environments, we never quite master leadership; there is always something to learn.

Experience in a variety of venues has helped to refine their approaches to leadership. Most have made progress on overcoming the weaknesses they idenKfied three-plus years ago. And some anKcipate that their future paths may veer from what they originally Lunch on Pfeiffer Beach Top row; leH to right: Dr. Cynthia Wagner Weick, Dr. Brian Weick, Celja Uebel, Ricky Estrada, ChrisNan Tudino, Connor Morales Bo6om row; leH to right: Madelaine Matej, Siena Gerbert, Cece Salinas, Shelley Buford The Powell Scholars’ major project this year focuses on plant life at the other end of the spectrum of size. Microgreens are small and highly nutriKous seedlings of vegetable species, which have made their way into many high-end restaurants. When harvested, they are only an inch or so in height and a week old, but they contain much higher concentraKons of nutrients than their mature counterparts. Thanks to the Powell Scholars’ original intensive growing system, named Verdevis, microgreens are now available to people who visit the San Andreas Food Bank in Calaveras County.
