The Surprising Places Our Wonder Leads: New RECORD Explores Curiosity

Published: April 13, 2021

Scientists say curiosity is like a mental itch that the scratch of discovery satisfies. Eleanor Roosevelt called it the most useful gift she could ever wish on a child. Albert Einstein advised youth to never lose holy curiosity.

The fall issue ofThe RECORD, titled Just Curious, addresses the wonder of wonder experienced by alumni and students:

  • A pediatric cardiologist explores virtual reality as training for surgeons.
  • A student raised in the plain and simple traditions of the Mennonite church discovers deep, personal value in Catholic traditions performed against the ornate surrounds of an archabbey.
  • A choral director unleashes his curiosity to solve a pressing problem: how to cultivate ensemble skills and still observe pandemic-driven rules.

Problems, surprises, discoveries, and challenges unfold in other stories, too. Read the fall 2020RECORD, Just Curious, below.
