Inkspill – ‘Community at Normal Community’ – Mr. Brad Bovenkerk [Ep. 8]

Welcome to “Inkspill,” a podcast where hosts Abby Ruebush and Avani Rai take turns inviting Community’s staff to “spill” on all things NCHS. In less time than it takes to finish a cup of tea, listen to our guests dish on piping hot topics.

For our eighth and final “Inkspill” episode of this school year, we’ve decided to take a different approach and spill straight from the source.

This episode 11-year Journalism adviser Mr. Brad Bovenkerk takes a tea break from his 6th hour Journalism class to spill on his experiences leading the Inkspot and the importance of student journalism.

About the Contributors

Abby Ruebush, Editor-in-Chief

Abby Ruebush is a senior at Normal Community High School and serves as president of Student Council and the Community Best Buddies chapter. This is her third year working with the Inkspot, where she is Editor-in-Chief. I like dance, ice cream and thoughtful conversation. A slogan to live by is that every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.

Avani Rai, Editor-in-Chief

Avani Rai is a senior at Normal Community High School and is a part of the Speech Team, FBLA, and Swim team. This is her second year working with the Inkspot, where she is a senior staff reporter. Random fact about me is I've been to 10 countries outside of the United States. My hidden talent is that I am a fantastic procrastinator. My slogan to live by is never be afraid to make someone's day. Whether that's something small, like complimenting someone in the hallways, or something big, like advocating for what you believe in.
