    Global Citizenship


      Lecture by Mason's New President

/The Hub (SUB II), Ballroom/
October 16, 2012, 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Mason's new president Ángel Cabrera delivers the Moments of Truth 
Lecture. The annual lecture is an initiative of the Interdisciplinary 
Curriculum Collaborative of the College of Humanities and Social 
Sciences. The lecture is followed by a question and answer session and 
reception.

Dr. Cabrera's book, co-authored with Gregory Unruh, addresses the role 
of a leader in the global economy. Bob Dudley, CEO of British Petroleum, 
says the text has "the mind-set to work across the world---with all of 
its ambiguities---requires real personal passion. /Being Global: How to 
Think, Act and Lead in a Transformed World/ captures that spirit by 
describing the art and the effort of listening, thinking, and acting to 
make a real difference in this complex world. This is a book for anyone 
developing his or her own passion for going global."

Dr. Cabrera chaired the United Nations task force that created the 
"Principles for Responsible Management of Education" and served as the 
chairperson of the Global Agenda Council for The World Economic Forum.
