Leaders on Leadership is a new class within the College's revamped MBA Program curriculum.

During each meeting of the class, local business executives outline their views on leadership. Each business leader is asked to convey several messages, including articulating their personal definition or practical understanding of leadership and outlining their personal beliefs about leading effectively.

The class takes place in Room LL12 of Harkins Hall, and the lectures begin at 6:00 p.m. They are open to the College community and the public on a space-available basis. Requests should be made to Lisa Mildner at (401) 865-1821 or lmildner@providence.edu.
