Campus Leadership Application Project (CLAP)

Lauren Hansen, '10, is a Character Quest participant and president of Student Government. Above, she welcomes the Class of 2013 during the New Student Convocation in September 2009.

During their time on campus, Character Quest students will be required to participate and hold a leadership position in a Carthage athletics, club, organization or Greek fraternity/sorority. This experience, when coupled with the classroom experience and teachings, will allow students to apply theoretical concepts to campus scenarios.

Character Quest seeks active campus leaders, or those with the potential to be leaders, whose involvement in the program will benefit both participants and the larger campus community.
