Topics may include areas such as: Building new strategies for campus diversity given the recent Supreme Court decision, what’s in store for Next Gen leaders and what tools they need to succeed, making the ‘case’ for the value of a college degree, building platforms for lifelong learning, and more. The confirmed panel of speakers includes:
- Julie Chen | Chancellor, UMass Lowell

- Shakenna Williams | Executive Director, Frank & EileenTM Center for Women’s Entreprenurial Leadership, Babson College (Moderator)
