Ulster University Business School (UUBS) in partnership with Ulster University's Alumni Team, UU Connects, are hosting an exclusive evening reception at Boston College in Dublin for university alumni and friends based in the area. The event aims to explore how leadership is constantly evolving and adapting to today's ever-changing business landscape, and seeks to redefine what it means to be a leader and build strategies for success, against the backdrop of significant technological, generational and cultural changes taking place across society. This event will also be an excellent opportunity to reconnect and network with a small gathering of UU alumni working across a range of industries.
Joining us to take part in a panel discussion we have Ulster University alumni and prominent business leaders, Cat McCusker and John Crean, who both have a wealth of knowledge and practical leadership experience to share.
