WelcomeThe President’s Lecture Series is part of The Washington Center’s Leadership Forum – a set of activities that enriches students’ experience by helping them understand leadership and the opportunities they have to contribute to their community locally, nationally and internationally. Students have the opportunity to hear and engage with speakers, are introduced to public policy debates and gain access to the people who shape them.
Now more than ever, the measure of one’s success will be tied to his/her ability to dream big, imagine the impossible, ask bold questions, develop creative solutions, fail fast, and embrace what may, at first, seem absurd. You will hear how creativity is being used in medicine, the arts, and business, and explore how you can begin to innovate and change the world.
The dress code is business professional
