Inclusive leadership

Saturday, February 27, 2010

Conference Overview - This one-day conference aimed to help students learn how to be an inclusive leader. Participants recognized how power and privilege affect leadership, examined personal identity development and how it impacts their leadership style, and learned to apply key leadership principles responsibly in diverse personal and professional environments. Members of the Temple undergraduate community began the day with a keynote address from Ann Aerts of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and then participated in a day filled with workshops and forums on a diverse array of topics under the umbrella of inclusive leadership. This event fostered dialogue and engaged learning with the hope that participants will continue this important conversation and effectively lead in diverse contexts.
