Dartmouth Events

This moderated discussion brings together leaders from across Dartmouth with Buddhist monastics from the Plum Village Tradition to explore what compassionate leadership looks like in practice, why it is beneficial, and how to cultivate our capacity for compassionate leadership with mindfulness practice. A livestream will be available (link to be posted).  Panelists will include Sister True Vow (Blue Cliff Monastery), Sister Huong Nghiem (Deer Park Monastery), Steve Leach (Professor and Interim Dean of Geisel School of Medicine), Jose Alvarez (Professor at Tuck School of Business and former CEO of Stop and Shop), Jennifer Rosales (Senior Vice President for Community and Campus Life, and Chief Student Affairs Officer), and Katie Dowty (Head Coach of Dartmouth Women's Rugby Team). The panel will be moderated by Janice Veronica Williams of The Center for Career Design.

This event is part of a week of mindfulness at Dartmouth, including meditation practice, public talks, drop-in events, and retreats with monastics from the Plum Village Tradition of Zen Master, scholar, poet, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh.
