Outdoor Leadership
This summer, scholars traversed glaciers of Alaska, paddled through Maine’s rugged coastline, and rafted the canyons of Utah. On customized expeditions with the National Outdoor Leadership School and Outward Bound, they practiced decision-making, resilience, and teamwork in the wild.
Civic Collaboration
Morehead-Cain Scholars partnered with civic leaders across North America to tackle local challenges and explore public service in action. Working in seventeen communities, scholars contributed to projects spanning AI in city government, resilience planning, affordable housing, and economic mobility.
Global Perspective
The Global Perspective summer took scholars to more than a dozen countries across six continents. Whether conducting fieldwork, interning with international NGOs, or engaging with local communities, scholars built cultural fluency and global awareness.
Professional Experience
For their capstone summer, scholars immersed themselves in professional environments that align with their passions and future aspirations. Connections through Morehead-Cain Alumni opened doors at dozens of organizations, reinforcing the lifelong support and mentorship of the community.
