Daniel Grayton from Bryan College Attends Tennessee Intercollegiate Legislature

2011 Nov 21

Daniel Grayton was among 10 Bryan College students who took part recently in the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature, an opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the legislative and judicial process.

Students in the legislative tract proposed and debated bills in committee and floor sessions. In the judicial tract, student lawyers argued a case before the student supreme court. Other students covered proceedings as part of a student press corps.

Professor Kevin Clauson said the program offered students the opportunity to gain "an intimate knowledge of how the legislative and judicial systems in Tennessee work. If they are going to be involved in the judicial or legislative aspects of government, at least half the battle is knowing how things work."

Daniel, son of Joseph and Linda Grayton of Methuen, MA, attended the TISL program.

Bryan is a Christian liberal arts college offering two Master's degrees and Bachelor's degrees in 19 areas. The college has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report for 17 consecutive years as being among the Top Tier of Southern comprehensive colleges.
