Her talk is part of the Let’s Talk program organized and led by the college’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the Sam M. Walton College of Business and its director, Barbara Lofton, as well as the Business Integrity and Leadership Initiative, headed by Cindy Moehring, the initiative’s founder and executive director.
Let’s Talk includes a classroom focus, a book, a workshop series, a speaker series and a verifiable badge that Walton College students can highlight on their LinkedIn profiles and resumes. The “Let’s Talk” Fall 2020 program focuses on the importance of speaking up about today’s pivotal issue — racism.
The college has extended the program into the Northwest Arkansas community by partnering with the Northwest Arkansas Council on a series of workshops for community leaders and on talks with noted authors.
Gentile’s talk via Zoom will last from 6-7:30 p.m., including time for attendees to have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A with Gentile.
