Distinguished Speaker Series
The Distinguished Speaker Series is one of the unique opportunties open to students undertaking the Global Leadership Program. A series of distinguished, high profile speakers will inspire and inform the Macquarie community.
At each event students will be exposed to the leadership and international experiences of professionals in academia, business, government, international relations and non-profit sectors. The presentation will be preceded by a networking session where you can meet other GLP participants, Macquarie faculty members, students and members of the business community.
Students must attend one of these events each semester for the year they are enroled in the program.
