About the event
The kickoff event for the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Leadership (CISL). CISL was hosted onThursday, April 23! The event featured speakers on each campus and was livestreamed to the other campuses in real time. TEDxFDU showcased and shared the amazing leadership being done by FDU with the entire University community.
We had such an amazing slate of speakers for the event, representing the whole FDU community: faculty, staff, alumni, leadership, external partners, trustees, and organizational supporters from all four major academic units and all three North American campuses. It was a wonderful celebration of all the great things we do at FDU!
