Impact Speaker Series
Impact Speaker Series
The IMPACT Speaker Series was created in order to build bridges between our students and global business leaders. The speakers help to provide insight into the types of challenges and opportunities that are taking place in their industry. Top executives can easily share their perspectives and journeys which help guide Whitman students in their journeys, enhancing our ability to bridge the classroom experiences with real-world experience.
Registration is required for anyone that would like to attend the Impact Speaker Series in person. These events are free and welcome to all, with priority given to students. There will also be a livestream link available for each speaker.
All speakers are recorded and uploaded onto Youtube!
