BREAKTHROUGH
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

Since 1985, more than 40,000 people have laughed, learned and grown with Breakthrough, founded in the Highfields tradition of "helping people grow."

Helping Colleges and Universities

Students and staff of Michigan colleges and universities enjoy Breakthrough as part of their orientation programs or in support of class work.  Athletic teams, fraternities, sororities, student governments, and college departments use Breakthrough to strengthen group relationships and meet goals.

Paula Cunningham, President of Lansing Community College, has used our program and had this to say:  "We could recommend the Highfields program to any organization looking to maximize its leadership potential.  The experiential learning program created opportunities to gain valuable insights into our working relationships that we would never have gained in traditional development programs"
