The School of Leadership & Development
Development Dialogues
About Development Dialogues:
“Development Dialogues” is a speaker series sponsored by the development programs of the School of Leadership and Development. Each year, this series brings some 14 speakers to the St. Davids campus, primarily from organizations, both Christian and secular, involved in development work in the United States and around the world. The objective is to give students a chance to engage and learn from development practitioners and their work in the field, and to network with them on issues of common interest.

Schedule for Fall 2012 will be posted shortly.
