In this interactive talk, Dr. Rachelle Strawther will share personal stories and communication strategies to help each of us speak our truth with courage, curiosity and compassion. You will also hear from Heather Schmitt, Graduate Admissions specialist, to learn about Gonzaga’s Communication & Leadership Studies and Organizational Leadership program.
