Dr. Robert E. Dunker Leadership Series - Harriet Tubman: Transformational Leadership Under Fire
Mon. Nov. 09
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Location: Cargill Auditorium
Description: We define leaders by the skills they demonstrate, both as strategists in quiet times and in how they perform under pressure. We also look to see if the efforts are valuable and good for everyone, not just a select group. Last, we want to see how they bring others together and make a difference going forward.
Of all the people I have discussed, Harriet Tubman may be the peak person on this list. We think of her as a conductor on the Underground
Railroad, leading slaves to freedom in the North. She was phenomenally successful, yet she was so much more than that.
In this talk, we will try to encompass all the aspects of Harriet Tubman. The Strategic planner, the brave participant, the communicator with a vision of what success would look like, and the humanitarian with integrity. Her actions emulated those of Moses in the Bible. Her goals were the betterment of all, and in the post-war era, she embraced the need for feminism and voting rights for women, breaking barriers for women, not just women of color. Even in her death, she thought of others, donating her land to be used as a home for the aged. We have barely scratched the surface of the things this remarkable woman achieved – and she lived her life as a blueprint for others to follow.
Join me to see the whole story of a remarkable person!

Phantom of the Opera

Description: "Cameron Mackintosh said, "I'm really delighted to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA back to thrill American audiences once again after its phenomenal record-breaking run on Broadway. When I unveiled this new production in London after the pandemic many of our brilliant original creative team, including Hal Prince, Gillian Lynne and Maria Björnson, were sadly no longer with us. Our exciting new team, inspired by their predecessors' glorious work, updated certain aspects of the production that resulted in a dazzlingly fresh version of the much-loved original, which was rapturously received by audiences and critics alike. So, as we raise our even more sensational chandelier across North America, you
can once again thrill to Andrew's soaring music of the night and be swept away by a revitalized PHANTOM in all its glory!"
