Lessons in Leadership

Lessons in Leadership is an alumni speaker series exploring the topic of leadership. Twice each semester, former students or community members share their own leadership experiences and discuss the role leadership plays in the work they do every day. Each program begins with complimentary refreshments followed by a short talk from the featured speaker and concludes with a question and answer session, all in the cozy warmth of the MUB's Rockingham Lounge.

All students are invited to attend the any of the 2009-2010 Lessons:
