A Message from the Director
"We need leaders who are courageously confronting the world's most complex challenges now - more than ever before. I believe students are uniquely poised to confront these challenges in ways that are ethical, inclusive, innovative, and impactful. The Doerr Institute is committed to helping those students develop their leadership so that they are prepared for leadership challenges and opportunities before them." - Dr. Stefanie Johnson, Doerr Institute director
