This course is designed to practice research, writing, and presentation skills within the context of experiential leadership in the outdoors. Students get to choose the topics of their research and debate around issues related to leadership. Controversial issues are faced squarely by students as they collaborate together to find better ways to lead from a humble, Christ-like approach. Students will be encouraged to present their work at campus research day as well as off-campus venues. This class may involve attending and possibly presenting at least one outdoor oriented conference
