Schedule
Vanderbilt will be live-streaming many of the sessions to provide access to the community to participate in the event virtually. Mark your calendars and return to the site March 3-5 to join. The following types of sessions will be accessible to all:
- Plenary Sessions: CGI U’s largest sessions featuring President Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Dr. Chelsea Clinton that highlight key themes of the annual meeting and a broad range of topics, such as freedom of expression around the world to the power of big data.
- Breakout Sessions: These smaller sessions provide students with the opportunity to hear from topic experts in CGI U’s five focus areas and the chance to engage with fellow students in order to hone in on the skills needed to develop their commitment.
