IOP Pritzker Fellow Justin Ángel Knighten on "Leading Through a Natural Disaster Crisis, Not Letting It Lead You"

THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Thursday, April 3

12:30-1:45pm

A response to disaster is at the epicenter of how a community unifies and comes together to put differences aside to help people…or not. Let’s test your capacity for swift, ethical and sound decisions made early that yield successful outcomes with local, state and national emergency managers for a group discussion on disaster response. The group will share examples of some recent disasters like tornadoes that have impacted the American South and midwestern states; Hurricane Helene that hit six states including North Carolina, and even historic disasters like Hurricane Katrina. Would you make the right decision under extreme pressure? Or would you crack?

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Sarah Palmisciano (spalmisciano@uchicago.edu).
