Three UW "geniuses" join a university president and an army general for February's Leadership Firesides

Husky Leadership Initiative and Starbucks present Leadership Firesides

Husky Leadership Initiative Leadership Firesides offer ongoing opportunities for students to engage in meaningful dialogue with a diverse range of civic, corporate and campus leaders in an informal setting. These leaders share their personal journeys and perspectives on leadership and become momentary mentors for students attending the event. The Firesides are a way for students to learn more about and reflect on leadership and build their leadership competence and confidence.


Starbucks is dedicated to the development of student leaders and proud to be a presenting sponsor of the Leadership Firesides.
