Limitless Leaders Series
Mines Leadership Lecture Series
The Mines Leadership Lecture Series brings together policymakers, industry trailblazers, academic visionaries, innovators and other notable figures in leadership for engaging discussions and insightful presentations.
In addition to the keynote addresses, guest speakers will have the opportunity to engage with various projects, departments and initiatives at Mines that align with their interests and expertise. This multi-engagement experience allows for meaningful and long-lasting collaborations between our featured leaders and the Mines community, including partnership with Grewcock Presidential Scholars.
Through this series, made possible thanks to the generous gift from Bruce Grewcock, Mines students will takeaway connections with bold, innovative leaders.
That’s a Wrap!
Thank you so much for a wonderful semester! Keep an eye out for our Spring 2025 speakers coming soon.
