On August 23rd, we kicked off the first session of the 2024 James T. Morris Global Leadership Series! Leaders from academia, non-profits, government, and more came together to dive into Cultural Competencies—a crucial step in enhancing cultural awareness and understanding for effective global leadership.
The 2024 cohort had the privilege of learning from Kimberly LaComba, Ph.D., Director of the Ph.D. in Global Leadership program at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, as she shared her insights on thriving as a global leader.
This five-month series will expand participants' cultural knowledge through a collaborative curriculum, bringing together established and emerging global leaders. Each of the five sessions offers a unique perspective to help participants grow into better global leaders.
We’re excited to continue this journey and look forward to the transformative experiences ahead!
