Time: 1:00 pm

Location: Mary Graydon Student Center, Room 305

Join Ambassador Brooke Anderson for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation on what it takes to drive and sustain long-term social progress —even in the most challenging times. From her distinguished career in national security to her current role leading Pivotal, a group of organizations founded by Melinda French Gates, Ambassador Anderson brings a unique lens to the importance of finding allies and the need for diverse perspectives in the room where decisions are made. The discussion will center on the role of women in shaping the future, leadership grounded in equity, and why hope is an essential ingredient for progress.
