Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman and Bennett College for Women President Julianne Malveaux will discuss "Presidential Perspectives on Leadership" at 2:45 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall, as part of a conference hosted by the Association of Black Women in Higher Education.
The discussion is open to the public. Prior to her talk with Tilghman, Malveaux will present a keynote address at a luncheon at 1 p.m. in Liberation Hall in the Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding (originally scheduled in the Shultz Dining Room of Robertson Hall).
