Join Dr. Özesmi for a final discussion on his research during his residency as the 2013 Moynihan TNGO Fellow!

Servant leadership is an open, strategic and responsive leadership that interacts with the principle of service to its constituency. In this talk Dr. Ozesmi will explore how servant leadership models are used in matching the expectations of supporters, small individual donors and staff with the mission of TNGOs.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
