Visiting Scholars Openings at Deep Springs College, Nevada
"The desert has a deep personality; it has a voice. Great leaders in all ages have sought the desert and heard its voice. You can hear it if you listen, but you cannot hear it while in the midst of uproar and strife for material things. 'Gentlemen, for what came ye into the wilderness?' Not for conventional scholastic training; not for ranch life; not to become proficient in commercial or professional pursuits for personal gain. You came to prepare for a life of service, with the understanding that superior ability and generous purpose would be expected of you." - Deep Springs Founder L.L. Nunn, 1923
An amazing model for a college based on the wisdom of the wild. It is worth reading about their philosophy and daily practice and applying for a job if you feel so called. - heather

Some of you may have seen the article in Vanity Fair about the "Cowboy Scholars" at Deep Springs College from 2004, definitely an interesting read, and relevant for Wild Gift, I think:
