Unifying College and University Campuses

Free Webinar: Thursday, February 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET

Too often, leaders confuse unity with uniformity. But uniformity undermines unity because different people have different viewpoints, even if they belong to the same groups! That's why honoring different perspectives is key to bringing people together.

Easier said than done? The Moral Courage Project provides an evidence-based strategy and toolkit to engage constructively across divides. Its unique program for higher education institutions fosters the skills for healthy conversation and, crucially, the year-round mentorship to turn those skills into effortless habits.

Join us at this free webinar to learn how the Moral Courage Method equips any of us to stand our ground while creating common ground—a paradox that advances pluralism.

Liberate Your Leadership

Free Webinar: Wednesday, March 13 at 2:00 p.m. ET

Does a job that once brought you joy and purpose sometimes feel like a relentless grind of grueling days and intractable problems? Is the strategy of working longer and harder in times of great stress no longer functional or sustainable?

You are not alone! Across higher education, we are seeing extraordinary levels of depletion, burnout, and turnover. But there is an alternative.

When we move from overextending and rescuing to co-designing, from heroism and self-sacrifice to empowering those we lead, we liberate our creativity and vision, and foster equitable, highly motivated campus cultures.

In this webinar, women of color thought-leaders who have served in senior administrative roles share concrete strategies they have used to take off the superhero’s cape, liberate their leadership, and build capacity in the communities they serve.
