Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

This year’s convening of the Aspen Consortium focused on the theme of purpose & passion. What does undergraduate education do at its best to help students uncover their personal purpose and passion(s)? In business education, how does drawing on the liberal arts help students to discover their passion(s) and purpose?See links to more information below.AgendaParticipant ListThe Consortium also had a strong action learning component: as part of participation, each school took on a pilot project that attempts to further the integration of liberal learning and business education. Previous pilot projects have included the design/redesign of specific courses, the design/redesign of degree programs, and the development of new assessment mechanisms specifically geared towards measuring the intersections of liberal and business learning.
