Core Values Speaker Series
About the Core Values Speaker Series
UMB launched our inaugural speaker series on March 30, 2015. The series promotes UMB’s core values of accountability, civility, collaboration, diversity, excellence, knowledge, and leadership.
National and international leaders come to UMB to lecture on their expertise and experiences; lectures are intended to appeal to broad University/communitywide audiences.
The Core Values Speaker Series brings the world’s best and brightest to UMB to enhance the manner in which the entire University community approaches its work, contributes to society, and leads as an institution. The speaker series also provides an opportunity for the University to come together as one at stimulating cultural events that enhance the environment in which the University works and learns.
