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.

—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
