All students in the School of Business and Leadership have the opportunity to attend CCU's annual Values-Aligned Leadership Summit (VALS). VALS brings seasoned executives and CCU business students together to network and exchange ideas on stewardship, ethics, and values-aligned decision making. Previous keynote speakers have included renowned journalist Cal Thomas; CCU President and former U.S. Senator, Bill Armstrong; Mr. Dudley "Bo" Mitchell, president and co-founder of the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation and chaplain for the Denver Nuggets; and Mr. Dan Issel, the former head coach and general manager for the Denver Nuggets and member of the NBA Hall of Fame.
The Outdoor Leadership Program takes the classroom to a whole new level. Imagine learning at the base of a mountain, hanging from a rock wall, or standing waist deep in a river while earning a grade for your learning experiences. In the Outdoor Leadership courses, you'll encounter experiential learning opportunities that will help you gain confidence, self discipline, and critical decision-making skills, all while encouraging you to deepen your relationship with God. Outdoor Leadership classes are open to all students regardless of your major or minor.
