College campuses are places where people from different faiths interact frequently and where diversity is highly valued, and yet faith is rarely a part of the multicultural conversation. Too often, it is divisive voices who fill this vacuum. Last year, David Horowitz organized “Islamofascism Awareness Week” on over a hundred college campuses in the United States, seeking to link Islam to violence. What kind of leadership is needed for a new world of religious diversity and religious conflict when the people with the highest profile and loudest voices are extremists of all sides?   In his talk tailored to the ILA’s international audience, Dr. Eboo Patel will speak about his journey to deepening his own Muslim and American roots, a story he documents in his book Acts of Faith, and the role that those traditions played in his development as a leader. He will also talk about how he develops other interfaith leaders through the organization he founded and runs, the Interfaith Youth Core, www.ifyc.org.  To learn more about Dr. Patel and his work, you can visit the blog he has for the Washington Post and Newsweek.

Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner Pearl S. Buck once declared, “One faces the future with one's past.” This is precisely the task laid before us as we move towards a more connected and interdependent global community. What do we have to learn from the history of leaders and leadership? What from the past should we bring to the future? What must be left behind in order to work towards a greater global good? What new demands does the future place on emerging leaders and concepts of leadership?
