This week, some of the writers for Creative Youth will be finding a new start at top universities.  For CY writers, the decision has been in the hands of the students as most got into virtually all their university choices.  One student had to decide between Harvard, UC Berkeley, Bryn Mawr, Brown, Columbia and various top music conservatories.  Others had similar tough choices.  One writer had to choose between Harvard, Yale and USC.  Another had to choose between Penn State, Carnegie Mellon, NYU and Stanford.  

Natasha Hull-Richter, who chose UC Berkeley over Ivy League schools and top music conservatories, stated that she was looking for an excellent music program with lots of singing opportunities at a university where she could interact with other intellectuals, like her.  Berkeley's music department staff strongly encouraged her to pick Berkeley's music department over a conservatory experience.  She is hopeful that she will have the kind of music opportunities there she would have received with a conservatory.  Several of Natasha's associates on the team chose the Ivy League Schools over the West Coast.  Natasha pointed out that the Ivy League Schools have terrible music programs.  Natasha has been with Creative Youth since its beginnnings.  She stated that the site would be in good hands.

There was a brief comical ceremony where the writers who will be going off to universities passed torches to the new head writers for CY.  The new torchbearers expect to have to work hard to meet the quality of work done by the leaving writers.  The retiring writers promised to submit articles and news stories from time to time.
