Reimagining Servant Leadership
We are excited to welcome back students, faculty, and staff to Malibu!
We hope you will join us for some welcome back activities focused around the theme of "Reimagining Servant Leadership." Servant leadership materializes when leaders' main goal and responsibility is to provide service to their population. Inside and outside the classroom, students experience the school's commitment to viewpoint diversity through policy debates from both sides of the aisle as a unique way of preparing servant leaders.
