The Center for Leadership is committed to bringing keynote speakers for the Cal Poly and local communities to hear from and engage with. Our hope is to share and highlight a wide variety of leaders and to expand the ways we think about what it means to be a leader in our world today. We hope you will join us for our keynote speakers!
2021 Speaker: Ashanti Branch

The Center for Leadership and the Men & Masculinities Program hosted Ashanti Branch on Thursday, April 29 for a dynamic conversation addressing the intersections of masculinities and leadership and how we can create new pathways towards more holistic leadership models. Ashanti Branch is a Cal Poly alum and Founder of The Ever Forward Club.
In addition to the keynote, Branch hosted a follow up workshop on Friday, April 30 to engage in an uncommonly open, honest dialogue about starting courageous conversations about social-emotional well-being.
