The Sargent Center<\/a> was founded in 1912 by Dudley Allen Sargent<\/a> (1849-1924), an early pioneer of physical education in the U.S. The 800-acre facility has run educational programs for over a century and was acquired by BU in 1932. It offers dormitory accommodations, a cafeteria, conference rooms, hiking through a 700-acre virgin forest, and swimming and canoeing in the 60-acre Half Moon Pond. BU Fellows have spent their fall orientation retreat at the Sargent Center since the 1980s, when Sonia Parker and John Harris ran the Program together.<\/p>\n

This year, we invited expert facilitator (and SED alumnus) Dr. Chris Roland of Bridging Distance to lead the Fellows in a series of activities and reflections that supported the cohort to build trust and friendship with one another, and to contemplate the coming year together.<\/p>\n
