On Monday, November 15, 2021, our John H. Mitchell Visiting Professor in Media Entertainment, Janet Leahy, met with the acclaimed 2020 and 2021 recipients of the Mitchell Scholarship in our FTVM conference room. Ms. Leahy and the students enjoyed delights from Jerusalem Garden, as they examined the inner workings of the Mad Men writers' room, the relationship between writing and producing for television, and how to transition from life at University of Michigan to the working world in Los Angeles and elsewhere. With full stomachs and a belly full of laughs, the evening ended with advice to accept life's challenges ahead, knowing these challenges will lead to richer, more transformative lives.
