Trends in college students’ values
Ethical issues in college life
Character building educational models and strategies
Moral development research

The Dalton Institute provides an opportunity to learn about the most current issues, research, and educational activities pertaining to character education in college. In addition, the Dalton Institute is designed to be a “think tank” for individuals who have particular interests in exploring more effective ways to promote civic education and the ethical development of college students.Originally the Institute on College Student Values, the conference was renamed in 2010 (at the 20^th Institute) the Jon C.

About the ICSV Logo

The first Institute on College Student values was held at Wakulla Springs Conference Center on the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast in 1991. The egret, a native of the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and representing tranquility and serenity, was present that first weekend and has been the official mascot since our inception.
