Join us for a special conversation with Evan Smith and Chris Bosh, NBA Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist. Bosh will reflect on his storied basketball career and the leadership lessons he learned on and off the court, before offering thoughtful commentary on the current state of democracy and the political moment we are living in today.

This training offers practical tools and strategies for leading inclusive, productive, and respectful conversations—even when tensions are high. Students will learn how to navigate conflict, build trust, and create space for diverse voices in complex public settings.
