Lougheed College Lectures Sponsored by Syncrude
The Lougheed College Lectures will return in Fall 2021 following the theme of leadership skills for an altered present. The 2020-21 series was recorded and is publicly available on our Lecture Archive alongside sessions from previous seasons.
In the most recent presentation, Dr. Deena Hinshaw reflected on her experience of leadership in the COVID-19 pandemic and the ways that she has, in her role, intersected with the leaders who serve their communities every day. This event was co-hosted with the School of Public Health on April 15, 2021.

"So far, the PLLC has fundamentally changed the way I view the world. Being able to hear the diverse perspectives and experiences of these people has provided me with a lot of insight as to how I can continue to develop myself. I really appreciate the constant support from the peers, mentors, and staff within the PLLC. The constant and purposeful learning in and out of the classroom is unparalleled to any learning I have experienced before.
