2024 Dr. L.P. Mousseau Ethics Lecture
Join us for an enlightening lecture by Dr. Tim Cusack as he explores examples set by Jesus in forming the ethical and moral leadership capacity of his disciples and how this can inform the development and mentorship of today’s aspiring Catholic school and community leaders. Through examples in scripture, Dr. Cusack will explore how steadfast moral guidance and ethical principles are essential for nurturing the next generation of leaders who are not only effective, but also grounded in faith and integrity. Whether you’re a current leader, an aspiring one, this lecture promises to inspire and deepen your understanding of how to lead with both conviction and compassion.
