Dean of Students

A group of 11 Carleton sophomores participated in a three-day seminar in Pennsylvania that introduced students to the concepts of leadership and team building in the context of liberal arts and business careers. Led by Carleton alumnus Jeff Appelquist '80, author of Sacred Ground: Leadership Lessons from Gettysburg & Little Bighorn, this seminar provided students with an opportunity to gain a better understanding of their own unique leadership qualities at one of the most historically important locations in the United States, Gettysburg National Military Park & Battlefield. By applying a historical framework, students walked away with tools that will enable them to effectively lead within a constantly changing environment, and a personal commitment to their continuous leadership development.
