One of the best ways to learn about leadership is from successful leaders. The Institute will invite leaders from various sectors such as business, government, higher education, and philanthropy and leadership scholars to visit campus for public lectures and intensive teaching sessions. OS students will have a unique opportunity to interact with visiting leaders and scholars who will share their experiences and identify challenges and opportunities for future leadership.
