Lauder Culture Quest
In the summer of 2011, the Lauder Institute held the first Lauder Culture Quest. Over 50 Lauder students from the Class of 2011 and the Class of 2012 flew into Belize City and met in Tikal, Guatemala and "raced" to Panama City in teams of four. Teams were awarded points for participation in local cultural events, visiting historically significant sites, assisting local entrepreneurs, interviewing political figures, etc. The ten day event is scheduled to happen each year in different locations around the world.

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or quest:
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
“The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
