Leadership During Chaos

Consider taking 53,000 students across six campuses across metro-Atlanta from in-person to on-line classes in two weeks while maintaining the quality of education. Add this to the equation: ensuring the safety of students, faculty, staff and community at the largest university in the state. All of this in a recently merged university with five satellite campuses.

This is not management; it requires leadership.

Join the World Affairs Council of Atlanta for a chat with Georgia State University President Mark Becker, Ph.D, whose background could not be more appropriate. Dr. Becker’s academic training is as a biostatistician. At the University of Minnesota he even served as assistant vice president of public health preparedness and emergency response. President Becker will discuss his insights on leading during the most chaotic period Atlanta has experienced since 1864 and how he is enabling GSU to continue its mission in times of a global pandemic.
