Jon C. Dalton

Institute on College Student Values

History

 

Background

The Jon C. Dalton Institute on College Student Values is an annual conference for student affairs professionals, educators, campus ministers, graduate and undergraduate students interested in character development in college students. First held in 1991, the Dalton Institute is concerned with five broad areas of interests:

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

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.

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.
