As part of their summer series, 60 Minutes will broadcast Jepson School Associate Professor Julian Hayter’s interview with Anderson Cooper this Sunday. The episode will begin at 7 p.m. #LeadershipStudies
Dean Sandra Peart writes on #leadership and the problem of voting: "Imagine the voting rule: A person will vote on a proposal that helps you, the same way she’d vote on a proposal that helps herself. What if all people in a democracy followed this rule?"

Renee Macbeth, '00, talks about #ServantLeadership as she shares how she applies her Jepson degree as a senior academic advisor.
“Education, starting in elementary school, lays the foundation for everything you do.”—Jepson senior Courtney Chenault
