MAL Meets Man in Motion
Canadian hero Rick Hansen shares perspective on strategic leadership at TWU.
Students in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program recently heard from guest lecturer Rick Hansen, who set out on his “Man in Motion Tour” almost 25 years ago.
Hansen, who is CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, and is also heavily involved with conservation efforts focused on the Fraser River, spoke on strategic leadership and the vital role it has played in his career.
“For the MAL class on strategic leadership, I could think of no better guest than Rick to address this subject,” says Professor Paul Kariya, Ph.D., who coordinates the MAL Non-Profit Leadership stream. “Whether he is talking about spinal cord research, saving salmon and sturgeon in the Fraser River, or supporting Aboriginal youth issues — all causes he works and lives to support — you know he is passionate and totally committed.”
MAL student Chris Moss says, “I have worked with adults with disabilities for 14 years, so I work with a lot of people with spinal cord injuries. It’s so neat to see someone who is really driven with a vision to create something.”
The MAL program is a 25-month course for leaders who have completed an undergraduate degree and have three years of related experience.
