“Leadership skills are integral to how we face our complex and ever-changing world.

As a small business owner and community activist, I see how much our communities depend on engaged citizens who lead with vision, integrity, self-awareness, and empathy. Only with a comprehensive understanding of leadership can each individual meaningfully contribute to our shared future in a vigorous and ethical democracy.

I applaud the College of Arts and Sciences for creating the Arts and Sciences Leadership major at The Ohio State University.”
