LEARNING TO LEAD
ECU hosts high schoolers at inaugural Shelton Leadership Challenge

The Shelton Leadership Challenge at East Carolina University held its inaugural six-day residential camp for approximately 25 high school students July 15 – 20. Participants spent the week expanding skills and knowledge of what it takes to be a leader. The week’s events included service projects in the community, team building exercises, ropes course activities and group discussion. The camp’s namesake, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and retired U.S. Army Gen. H. Hugh Shelton, welcomed campers to the event on July 15.
