Northwestern School of Communication
MSC & MSLCE Leadership Program
March 19–22, 2027
Rome, Italy
Join Professor Leslie DeChurch for a three-night extension in Rome immediately following the Florence program. Encore in Roma is a small, salon-style program built around two questions and two millennia: how do teams lead without a single leader, and how do they collaborate across time and distance? Mornings are curated and shared. Afternoons are yours to explore. Evenings bring the group back together over dinner.
