A Conversation on Leadership with Condoleezza Rice, 66th United States Secretary of State

Join us for a conversation with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, one of the nation’s most distinguished diplomats, about growing up, going to college, and finding her passion for diplomacy. Secretary Rice is currently the Tad and Dianne Taube Director of the Hoover Institution and a Senior Fellow on Public Policy. From 2005-2009, Secretary Rice served as the 66th Secretary of State of the United States, the second woman and the first Black woman to hold the post. Secretary Rice will be interviewed by Susan Porcaro Goings, an advocate for women’s empowerment, a supporter of at-risk youth, and co-founder of the World Federation of Youth Clubs.

The Rick and Susan Goings Conversations in Leadership are marque public discussions with individuals who have taken unconventional paths to success at the highest levels of their professions. We probe deeply into the careers of those whose leadership has made a difference and who have persevered despite the odds. Through this series, we will develop an understanding of the styles and critical elements of leadership.

Never Give Up in Pursuit of Your Dreams, Says CCNY Alum Anthony Cole

“Sometimes we want to give up and run / we got to keep holding on / rise up; never let them get you down — never let them.” These lyrics open Anthony Cole’s recent hit single and capture an essential lesson he hopes current and future CCNY students will embrace: to never stop cultivating the talents and other super powers that make you unique.
