International Leadership Series
Your learning, thinking and actions—both now and after graduating—are integral to achievement of a more just, secure and sustainable global future. That is why the International Leadership Series (ILS) is comprised of 60-minute speaker seminars centered on Oxfam’s curriculum for global citizenship.
Our theme for the 2019-2020 academic year is Changemaking: Transforming Our World for Good.
