IPS Guest Speakers


During the September session of the IPS Leadership Academy we had several guest speakers. Tom Ballard talked about the history of IPS. Victor Ashe discussed his career at the local, state and federal levels of government. Joe Johnson told us how IPS was originally formed in the early 1970s. President Simek discussed the important role of public service in the university mission (and he talked about his archeology research!)

Finally, one of the most memorable speakers ever was "Ranger Mike" from the National Park Service. If you get a chance, as your colleagues about the BEAR JAM!

We have amazing resources available to us.
