Thought Leader Lunches will cover topics the Fuqua Community has already discussed during our Courageous Conversations or Daring Dialogues from the angle of “now what can we do?” It will give participants an opportunity to learn more about a particular topic and brainstorm actionable ideas that we can work on realizing together.
There will be required reading or viewing of resources for each session. Please have these materials read/viewed by the date that Thought Leader Lunch takes place.
Our first Thought Leader Lunch will take place on Tuesday, June 9th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. During this session, we will dive deeper into the topic of Race.
If you can attend, please RSVP by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 8th. If you have any questions, contact Stephanie Robertson at stephaniem.robertson@duke.edu or Jason Van Sant at jason.vansant@duke.edu.
Please see below for resources to read/view before the Thought Leader Lunch. We will be discussing the required materials only during this session. Please give yourself enough time to read/view each required resource thoroughly.
