Wednesday marked a long-standing WHEELS academic tradition, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Mock Trial. In this strong example of meaningful work (a local topic that emulates the work of a profession), students take on the roles of lawyers and witnesses to attempt to win their case. The case brings authentic effort from students (students diligently working in the cafeteria during lunch to perfect their arguments), and the stakes of the trial are never clearer than when you see the joy of the winning team when the verdict is announced!
