Leaders Dialogue Series: On Making a Difference for Good

The Leaders’ Dialogue series is an opportunity to get to know individuals who have made a difference for good in the world, and hear their thoughts on questions such as ‘What motivates you?’, ‘What does ‘success’ mean to you?’, ‘What have you learned about leadership?’, and ‘What’s wrong/right with the world?’

Each event recording features Dean and Vice-Provost Dr. Susan Porter in conversation with special guests, to an audience of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.  Tune in to listen to these thought provoking, inspirational and intelligent conversations.
