Jepson on Facebook
Last week, Jepson Dean Sandra Peart ran the Sunrise 5K at the OBX. She shares five things sports and leadership have in common in this week's #LeadershipSpeculations post.
The 2018 #URSpiderChallenge starts today! Show your support for Jepson at https://bit.ly/2JeAd2v
“While Jepson provided the core training of being able to think critically and communicate effectively, I think the two most important skills that I’ve found that have allowed me to separate myself from my colleagues and peers, is that of empathy and perspective.”
Joey Pahira, ’07, manager of public health services at PwC, on the skills he used to transition into leadership roles in his career.
Starting off the week right #URichmond #JepsonHall
Weekend Listen: Dr. Jessica Flanigan discusses her book #PharmaceuticalFreedom on Free Thoughts Podcast.- "It is as important — perhaps more important — to understand morally corrupt persons who rely on coercion to obtain results as it is to understand good leadership."
Dean Peart writes about coercive leadership in this week's #LeadershipSpeculations blogpost.
What can you do with a #LeadershipStudies degree? In February, a few members of the Class of 2018 shared their future plans with us.
“What’s so interesting about Richard is that his primary problem is that he’s fine as a person. He’s just a terrible ruler.”
Dr. Kristin Bezio talks #Shakespeare and #leadership on the latest episode of Slate.com's miniseries podcast "Lend Me Your Ears."- What can small-scale societies tell us about moral judgement? A lot, according to anthropologist Dr. Chris von Rueden.
"Humans have lived in small-scale societies for the large majority of our species’ existence, so small-scale societies better approximate the conditions under which universals in moral judgment might have evolved."
At last weekend's #SpiderReunion, the Jepson School faculty honored three Jepson alumni for their accomplishments in education, public service, and healthcare. #SpiderPride #LeadershipSpeculations
Thanks to everyone who stopped by on Friday for our #SpiderReunion Reception! We love seeing alumni back in Jepson Hall!

Earlier this month, we celebrated the 73 #LeadershipStudies majors and 11 minors in the Jepson Class of 2018 at #JepsonFinale. Watch the full ceremony online at https://bit.ly/2IIwiyV.

At #JepsonFinale, Dr. Gary L. McDowell remarked, "Lincoln’s true legacy is a legacy of leadership. In particular, a legacy of moral leadership."
