The Staley School of Leadership Studies announces two upcoming What Matters to Me and Why presentations.
These lectures take place from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom, and feature stories about the speakers’ journeys – how they have chosen to live their life, the core values they have adopted, the personal choices they have made and lessons they have learned.
Dr. Debra Bolton, director, Intercultural Learning and Academic Success, will present “Life-Long Learning to Find Common Ground” on Thursday, Feb. 25.
Dr. Bolton will remember her father and his advice, “Know something about everything and everything about something, and you will always be able to find common ground with another person.” In this talk, she will describe her penchant for music, literature, geography, art, and people, which inform her work in intercultural development.
