A unique way to discover the essential principles of leadership—in a communal survival setting! This business and leadership focused expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime remote experience! In fact, it is among the remotest of the remote! Imagine flying by floatplane into Gates of the Arctic National Preserve, the least visited of all the National Parks because access is limited to floatplane only. Imagine setting up a basecamp on a lakeshore somewhere 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle where the only visitors over the past 30 years have been our pilot and Xavier people! Imagine not seeing any humans other than our group and our pilot for the entire week! Imagine that your home is also shared by caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, porcupine, wolverine, eagle, Dahl’s sheep and a host of migrating birds. The opportunity to learn communal survival techniques are lessons that you will take with you for a lifetime. Experiences of drinking from a lake so clean that the water need not be filtered. Imagine your first experience of fly fishing or gathering foods (like berries) done in such a majestic, vast, quiet space under the midnight sun. 6 of 9 Total Credits. Choose any 2 courses from 3 course offerings (ENGL 205/140, MGMT 201, THEO 388). LIMIT 12 Students.
