2023 Warren Bennis Leadership Experience emphasizes interdisciplinary leadership

Kate Bennis, daughter of the late Warren Bennis, took to the stage and first gave thanks to her father’s former associates and friends in the crowd, including Tom Humes, Bruce Hopple, Neil Novak, Jay Chatterjee and Joan Lindhardt Plunkett. She also expressed gratitude to Lindner Dean Marianne Lewis, PhD, and Thornburgh Academic Director Donna Chrobot-Mason, PhD, as well as to the WBLE student team.

“I know that he really deeply felt that the thing that he did best was teach,” Kate Bennis said.

She then presented a trio of WBLI-sponsored “Leaders Are Made” scholarships to Austin Castle, BBA ’25, Sarah Hassan, COM ’26, and Rigbe Zemicael, BS, DAAP ’23.
