On October 24, 2022, Carrier Mills-Stonefort High School students Kaylee Klope, Brianna Cullers, Taylor Dombrow, and Brianna Grissom attended the Student Advisory Council event hosted by Dale Fowler at SIU-Carbondale. There were many great guest speakers there to encourage and motivate students to continue to be a leader in their schools and to pursue their passions. Mr. Dale Fowler talked about his upbringing and how helping others and networking has created opportunities for his success. After lunch, the students got a taste of what it is like to debate a senate bill. They were given assignments, roles, and talking points to make their claims. In the end, the "senators" had to vote on whether or not to pass the bill based on the evidence and claims provided.
