UR's colleges bring leaders, newsmakers, and artists to campus.
The 2023-24 Jepson Leadership Forum presents Masculinity in a Changing World. The last few decades have seen rapid changes in gender relations and norms—in the household, in the workforce, and in government. We’ve invited speakers to discuss masculinity in the context of these recent cultural changes.
Specific topics include the role of hormones in gender identity and behavior, status competition and violence, challenges facing men as a result of the changing nature of the family and the economy, Black masculinity in the United States, and the past and future of patriarchy globally.
Jepson faculty help students hone their leadership skills. They also hold prominent places in national and international media, providing insightful opinions and expert views on leadership and issues of the day.
Graduates leave Richmond with knowledge of leadership frameworks and with the critical thinking and communication skills that enable them to excel in their chosen careers.
