McGlothlin Leadership Forum

"The Leadership Forum will bring William & Mary students in touch with the highest caliber leaders in business and law in our nation.  This highly personal program is intended to inspire our students to the highest level of achievement possible."

 — James W. McGlothlin

The McGlothlin Leadership Forum brings together two generations of leaders: the next generation from the business and law schools and the McGlothlin Leadership Forum Fellows, pre-eminent leaders in their fields. The Fellows will engage with students and faculty in discussion, debate, and analysis on the most pressing issues of the 21st Century economy and the global political, legal, and free enterprise systems that comprise it. 

The Forum will prepare students to make a difference in the world by expanding their understanding of the vital roles of leadership and accountability. Its utmost priority is to instill the values of impeccable integrity and revolutionary thinking in William & Mary students so that they may uphold their commitment to the spirit of innovation and service for the greater good, which they have maintained for over three centuries.

For his generosity and steadfast commitment to the College of William & Mary,  the alma mater of a nation, the Forum is named in recognition of James W. McGlothlin ’62, J.D. ’64, LL.D. ’00.
