KU one of four civilian universities chosen for Army-business seminar
Kansas University’s School of Business has been chosen as one of four civilian universities in the country to provide a “strategic broadening seminar” for U.S. Army officers, warrant officers, senior noncommissioned officers and civilians, KU recently announced.
This summer’s three-week Mount Oread Leadership Series will feature graduate-level lectures designed to prepare leaders for current and future national security challenges, according to KU. KU researchers in the fields of leadership and leading change, personal leader identity and attributes, and strategic issues in the international security environment (Russia and Eurasia) will lead discussions.
Participating Army leaders will learn alongside counterparts from business and industry, providing the broader dialogue envisioned for the initiative by U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno, according to KU.
The Center for Business, Industry and National Security at the School of Business is partnering with KU’s Office of Graduate Military Programs to offer the seminar.
