Journeys in Leadership
Established in 2020 by the Goodwin College of Business and Liberal Arts “Forward” task force, BenU Journeys in Leadership (JIL) is a nonpartisan, non-political speaker series generously supported by the Becker Endowment fund. The aim of the series is to highlight the successes (and challenges) of an eclectic mix of local, state, national and international leaders from across a range of professional and academic experiences.
Stressing the importance of a liberal arts education, the common thread of the JIL speakers is their commitment to community discourse and living active, healthy lives. Whether considering the life skills of a renowned poet, the musical and business acumen of a symphony CEO, or the dedication to international service of an aid worker, each of these carefully selected speakers has been invited to ĂŰĚŇTV to share their life’s journey, with the primary goal of teaching and inspiring our students.
Journeys in Leadership events are held in person and, in some cases, via Zoom, and all are free and open to the public.
