Innovation in Higher Education: Building Capacity for Inclusive Leadership

Feb. 21, 2023, 9:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.
Location:

Zoom Webinar

How can educational institutions leverage the liberal arts and multidisciplinary approaches to promote values and practices of inclusion and encourage critical discourse across the disciplines and perspectives? How do we translate capacities attained through higher education into creative problem-solving to address some of the most pressing and divisive global problems of our time? To discuss these questions and share emergent models for inclusive leadership, Vassar Institute for the Liberal Arts will convene a forum with leaders in education from institutions in Rwanda, India, and Scotland.

The forum will feature:

  • Vassar President Elizabeth H. Bradley
  • Dr. Abebe Bekele, Dean of the School of Medicine at the University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) in Rwanda 
  • Dr. Peter Mathieson, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh
  • Parag Saxena, Co-Founder and CEO of Vedanta Capital and New Silk Route
  • Tony James, Former Vice-Chairman of Blackstone
