If selected, please plan on a 1-hour orientation session prior to departure for the conference to review travel itinerary details, conference schedule and packing list, and behavior expectations.

If selected, the Leadership Center will ask that you write a short reflection paper on your experiences at the West Point conference, due to Laura Thomas two weeks after your return, AND commit to creating and implementing an action plan to put what you have learned at West Point into action at TCU.  This will be discussed further at the conference orientation.

Please respond to EACH of the following questions in a single essay of 500 words or less.

  • What is an ethical issue that you have experienced that you would want to discuss with other conference participants?

  • What is an ethical issue that you believe is taking place on college campuses?
