Heifer
Last week 10 Walton College students participated in the Heifer International Alternative Spring Break Program in Perryville, Ark. The trip was organized by the George W. Edwards Jr. Career Development Center in the Sam M. Walton College of Business. The purpose of the Heifer International Alternative Spring Break Program is to enable participants to begin a journey of personal growth by engaging in a range of activities to challenge and strengthen problem solving and communication skills.
Six of the participating students were Leadership Walton members and four were students in the Master of Business Administration program. Through the week-long immersion at the Heifer Ranch, students experienced lifestyles from around the world and engaged in service work, community building, and hands-on educational learning activities focused on hunger, sustainable development, and caring for the earth.
For more information on the program, please visit the Heifer International Spring Break Program.
Leadership Walton is a developmental program that enhances students’ experiences in the areas of leadership, career development and academics. The program is managed by the Sam M. Walton College of Business Career Center. For more information, please visit Leadership Walton.
