Professor Ken Bartlett, Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development, is covering a lot of ground during his sabbatical. He’s been visiting universities, conducting research, and giving lectures and workshops in countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and his home country of New Zealand.

He also loves to head off into the hills for hiking and climbing. After recently completing a multi-year challenge to reach the highest point in all 50 U.S. states, he has now been able to trek to the top of several European countries.

Bartlett, who served in the U.S. Forest Service before his career path led to human resource development, posed for this photo on the famous overhanging rock above Geirangerfjord in Norway.

Next he heads to the lower elevations of the U.K. as a visiting scholar at Oxford University in Cambridge and Napier University in Edinburgh.
