The Ripple that Became a Tidal Wave: HIV/AIDS Activism and the Lessons for Transformative Leadership featuring Dr. Celeste Watkins-Hayes

All are welcome to join us at the Spotlight Series, with guided discussion, invited speakers, and lunch.

She points to the importance of looking for leadership in unexpected places, the value of constructive conflict among diverse groups, and the willingness to talk about difficult issues exhibited by the HIV/AIDS community as useful lessons that can be applied to many of the challenges facing institutions.
