For the third year, the Aspen Institute hosted the festival in Aspen, Colo., as a way to engage public high school juniors and educators. According to its Web site, the festival draws speakers from a variety of fields from around the world. The program features four different weeklong tracks and 11 four-day tracks.

“It was humbling, but at the same time, I was star-struck,” Donivon said.
</p> <P>
He attended forums on numerous topics. He remembers meeting leaders he is now learning about in government class.
</p> <P>
The TAG senior said the most memorable speaker was Sam Harris, a best-selling author and Stanford University graduate.
</p> <P>
“I’d never heard a person speak so candidly about religion,” he said. “It’s a touchy subject. I wanted to argue with him. I thought it was honorable for him to speak out.”
</p> <P>
Donivon had considered not returning for his final year, Mr. Correa said, but the festival refreshed him.

“It had a big impact on my career path,” he said.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/32A8D23B-F79D-4AD9-A668-0E6CDFFB3C65/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
