Comments from previous participants
"I learned that I can make more of a difference in my school."
"The most meaningful element of the conference was meeting so many different people from so many backgrounds."
"I absolutely loved this weekend. It was a great experience!"
The theme of HSLC can be traced back to a letter dated January 15, 1857 from James A. Garfield, principal of Hiram College (1857-1860) and later the twentieth President of the United States, to his student Burke A. Hinsdale, later president of Hiram College (1870-1882). The sentiments of "to know, to do, and to dare" have long been integral to Hiram's commitment to developing the lifetime intellectual, social, and ethical growth of its students.
