An invitation from President Hatch: Character and the Professions Conference

The following message was emailed to the Wake Forest community on March 15 on behalf of University President Nathan O. Hatch. 

Dear Wake Forest community,

I write to invite you to participate in the virtual conference on Character and the Professions hosted on March 18-20 by the Program for Leadership and Character at Wake Forest and the Oxford Character Project at the University of Oxford.

The conference will kick off on Thursday evening, March 18, with a keynote session with former U.S. Secretaries of State Dr. Madeleine K. Albright and Gen. Colin L. Powell. This event, in partnership with the Face to Face Speaker Forum, will feature a conversation about leadership and character in public life.

The remainder of the conference will provide an opportunity for members of our community to learn about the importance of character in various professional settings and consider the ways to integrate character into their personal and professional lives. The conference is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Additionally, there will be a pre-conference Call to Conversation event on Wednesday, March 17 at 5:30 p.m. to explore meaningful examples of character in professional contexts. Registration is also required for this event.

I hope you will consider participating in this upcoming conference.

Sincerely,
Nathan O. Hatch
