Courageous Leadership in Crisis: Lessons We Can’t Afford to Ignore
11:15 a.m.
Greater Columbus Convention Center
What does it take to lead through unprecedented challenge and stay true to students at the center of it all? In this unfiltered conversation, former college presidents reflect on the crises that tested their leadership, the decisions they wrestled with, and the lessons they wish they had learned sooner.
These leaders, now outside the day-to-day pressures of their roles, will speak candidly about what they got wrong, what surprised them, and what every educator and advisor needs to understand about leading through complexity.
