Carl Larson Scholarship
Professor Carl Larson departed this life on September 22, 2024 and is missed dearly by both his natural family and his RIHEL family. A description of Carl’s life can be read here.
Hundreds of RIHEL graduates remember Carl as the teacher among teachers in their advanced leadership development program (ALTP) because of his incomparable mastery of teamwork and collaboration concepts.
Having conducted extensive empirical research on leadership, collaboration and teamwork within organizations and communities, he taught us what we needed to know to succeed as public and environmental health professionals. His timeless books include When Teams Work Best, Teamwork, Collaborative Leadership, and The Humanitarian Leader.
There was a special place in Carl’s heart for RIHEL participants because of their dedication to the health of communities and the environment.
As Carl had worked to shape the ALTP curriculum since RIHEL’s first class in 1998, it is not an exaggeration to say he was the single most important factor in establishing RIHEL’s success which continues to this day.
Your contribution to the Carl Larson Scholarship extends his impact at RIHEL.
All Carl Larson Scholarship funds will be awarded to RIHEL leadership training participants to offset their tuition costs.
Thank you.
From participants in RIHEL's Advanced Leadership Training Program
"ALTP offers a powerfully diverse and interactive leadership curriculum that takes you on an impactful, emotional, and life-changing adventure!"
"The curriculum is exceptional and has been transformative. The ALTP has helped me significantly move the ball forward on my own leadership skills in every respect."
"I've been thru 2-3 leadership programs throughout my career but being in ALTP was a humbling experience. It was the right amount of challenge for me at this point in my career and appropriate to my work as a leader in my organization and as leader of a team… I understand a lot more about leadership now than I did before; I have a framework and language for what I value in leadership and the kind of leadership I want to practice."
"[ALTP] made me realize I can be an effective leader, and I don't need to be in a formal manager/leader role at work to practice leadership. I can apply leadership principles to my personal life, too. And, I can share the tools I've learned to others so they can apply it at work and/or at home."
