Leadership Luncheon Series
This leadership series provides students with an opportunity to hear personal success
stories from leaders within their future fields.
We love to highlight stories of success in leadership through the lens of leaders
locally and abroad. Each speaker is asked to share their personal story of success
that helped shape their values and contributions to society.
