Twelve students traveled to Aspen, Colorado and Washington, D.C. for Colorado College's Block 6 Career Catalyst course, The Art & Science of Convening for Social Change with the Aspen Institute, led by Anthony Bull, Associate Professor and Chair of Human Biology & Kinesiology, and Lora Louise Broady, Visiting Executive in Residence, Economics & Business.
Students explored the innovative model of convening and leadership that drives the Aspen Institute, one of the world's most influential nonprofits. They made professional connections and learned highly transferable skills in strategic planning, executive operations, and high-stakes communication from Aspen Institute staff and President and CEO (and Colorado College Trustee) Dan Porterfield. The course concluded with students designing and presenting projects to advance social change in a core impact area.
