| July 2008 Upcoming Events and New Leader-in-Residence SPEED NETWORKING Last year's speed networking event - where alumni and current students briefly chatted and traded business cards for resumes - was such a success that we'll be repeating it in the fall. If you want to volunteer to mentor current students in this after-work event, please e-mail jepson@richmond.edu or call (804) 287-6522.
THE JEPSON LEADERSHIP FORUM: ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP This year's topic is tied to the bicentennial of the birth of the 16th president on Feb. 12, 1809. Programs explore Lincoln's moral leadership, ability to sway public opinion through effective speaking and writing, his leadership as a commander in chief and the moral roots of his leadership. The Forum will also include a performance by the Richmond Symphony on music in times of war and crisis, a conversation on race and reconciliation, and a conference on Lincoln and the South in cooperation with the American Civil Center at Historic Tredegar. Dinners and receptions are often scheduled with Forum events. Contact the Community Programs Office at (804) 287-6627, e-mail jepson@richmond.edu or contact Sue Robinson, Director of Community Programs.
