What is The High School Leadership Conference (HSLC)?

HSLC engages up-and-coming leaders in a variety of activities designed to expand their comfort zones and foster leadership skills. For three days on the campus of Hiram College, student leaders will participate in sessions on team building, creative problem solving, group dynamics, small group discussions, and diversity education. Participants will also engage in a low-ropes course.

 

Who conducts HSLC?

Student development professionals on the Hiram College staff, with the assistance of Hiram student mentors, will guide high school students through engaging leadership exercises.

 

When and where is HSLC?

HSLC will be held on July 9 - July 11, 2012. 

HSLC will be on the campus of Hiram College, just a 45-minute drive from Cleveland and Akron. Participants will stay two nights in Hiram's residence halls.

TO KNOW, TO DO, AND TO DARE...

The theme of HSLC can be traced back to a letter dated January 15, 1857 from James A. Garfield, principal of Hiram College (1857-1860) and later the twentieth President of the United States, to his student Burke A. Hinsdale, later president of Hiram College (1870-1882). The sentiments of "to know, to do, and to dare" have long been integral to Hiram's commitment to developing the lifetime intellectual, social, and ethical growth of its students.
