Visiting Speakers
In order to become a leader you have to learn from leaders. That's why the Institute invites national, state, and regional public servants to Bradley's campus. Every year distinguished speakers come to Bradley to offer students and the Peoria community the rare opportunity to hear about and benefit from their experience and insights.
