The topic for the conference is “Ethical Challenges In A Global Society: How Can Universities Lead?” The conference will focus on reasons why leaders of today must have greater skills, knowledge and vision than their predecessors.

Sederburg, president of Utah Valley Sate College; and Brian M. Wooten, director of the Kennesaw State University’s Center for Student Leadership and instructor for University Studies.
