“The U21 Global Leadership Program was a unique and energizing experience. It provided an opportunity to connect with higher education leaders from around the world, revealing how deeply interconnected our goals and challenges truly are.  The program included informative content complemented by opportunities to engage in small group discussions which were especially valuable, offering space for reflection and meaningful exchange. I left the program with renewed energy and new ideas that I’ve already started applying in my role at McMaster.” stated Deborah DiLiberto, Assistant Professor, Medicine, and Director, Global Health Graduate Program.  

“The U21 Global Leadership Programme was an incredible experience.
