Dr. Jill Ker Conway "The Next 50 Years in the World" (Part 1)

There are only a few people versatile enough to be thought of as the Fall Arts Distinguished Academic Lecturer, the inaugural speaker of the Frederik Meijer Lecture Series, and the first of three 50th Anniversary Distinguished Academic Lecturers. A successful author, academician, and businesswoman, Dr. Jill Ker Conway is one such person.

Dr. Conway shares her rich experience, insight, and wisdom gained from current and past leadership roles at Nike, Colgate-Palmolive, Merrill Lynch & Co., and the Lend Lease Corporation. A native of New South Wales, she is a graduate of the University of Sydney and earned her Ph.D. in history at Harvard in 1969. She is the author of several best-selling books including The Road from Coorain and A Woman's Education.
