Our program seeks to be a convening venue for leading voices in the philanthropy and nonprofit sectors. Each year we host different lectures and panel discussions that engage with a range of issues confronting a sector. Students in our program get the opportunity to engage with and learn from experts and practitioners. Our convening power gives our students additional insights into the sector, the challenges it confronts, and the opportunities for leadership and innovation going forward. Taking a look below to see an archive of these events.
