INAUGURAL SCHWARZMAN–RHODES SYMPOSIUM 26-28 OCTOBER 2018 Dear Schwarzman Scholars and Rhodes Scholars, Welcome to our inaugural Symposium on Public Leadership. This weekend will provide all of us with opportunities for intellectual engagement, civic dialogue, skills development and bridge building between our two programmes. We are delighted to have each other as partners as we explore a vitally important topic which has a profound impact on our lives and societies in the 21st century. The founding mission of both the Rhodes Scholarships and the Schwarzman Scholars programme is what brings us together: a shared commitment to developing leaders who will work – across many different sectors – towards positive change in the world. The long and rich history of the Rhodes Trust helped inspire the creation and development of Schwarzman Scholars. Founding Trustee Steve Schwarzman is grateful for the opportunity to learn from the Rhodes Scholarship and invested in our ongoing collaboration. The Rhodes Trust also continues to evolve, seeking to further expand its geographic constituencies, diversify its cohort, and build a network for global impact. Both programmes are committed to enhancing alumni engagement in order to foster lifelong fellowship and promote a truly global conversation about the vital issues of our time. This weekend’s symposium will address topics and issues of great importance in the development of public leaders: ethical leadership, intercultural understanding, continuous learning, communications expertise and networking.
