Community-Engaged Leadership: The Engaged Cornell Ethos - Cancelled

 Please note this event has been cancelled. 

Public engagement has been central to Cornell's mission since its founding. Engaged Cornell celebrates this history by deepening the university's commitment to the partnership-based activities of community-engaged learning, community-engaged research, and community-engaged leadership. Mike Bishop will talk about how students are embracing the Engaged Cornell ethos to addresses issues of public concern. He will detail the community-engaged leadership program and its defining characteristics of mentorship, critical reflection, dialogue, and committed action. His talk will include an invitation to alumni to participate in this vision where Cornellians lead with a public purpose. 

Mike Bishop is director of student leadership within the Office of Engagement Initiatives. He focuses on supporting students in integrating their community engagement and leadership development, as well as cultivating a vibrant network of leadership educators. For the past twenty years, Mike has helped emerging leaders connect their community engagement to a sense of personal and public purpose. Passionate about experiential education, he has created leadership programming in varied settings that emphasizes service to the public good, democratic engagement, reflective dialogue, and mentoring. Mike received his M.Ed. from Harvard Graduate School of Education and B.A. in sociology from Georgetown University.
