The Freedom and Learning Forum at George Mason University allows for the campus community to engage in an interactive dialogue series with the University President and extraordinary thought leaders from around the world. The program emphasizes that freedom and learning are mutually interdependent and that one cannot happen without the other. Participants will have an opportunity to hear personal leadership stories and life experiences from our guest leaders. The forum also allows for community dialogue across difficult topics and increasing understanding across difference. The Center for Leadership and Intercultural Engagement and the Office of the President have been cosponsoring the Freedom and Learning Forums since 2014.
