In celebration of Honoring the Headwaters: 10 Years of SLS, we had a conversation with three alumni from the Sustainability Leadership Semester (SLS).
Read students’ perspectives on how they are experiencing leadership development and new understandings of sustainability in the Sustainability Leadership Semester.
Since the SLS began in 2012, this immersive, residential semester uses water as a tool and gateway to broader discussions about how students can influence the holistic health of communities. This fall, we celebrate ten years of transformational learning and leadership by Honoring the Headwaters: 10 Years of SLS.
