October 24, 2011

DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 24, 2011 -- Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, and Steve Case, co-founder and former CEO of AOL, CEO of Revolution LLC, Chairman of the Case Foundation and Chairman of the Startup America Partnership, will be among the notable names to take part in the Coach K Leadership Summit being held at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business today. Organized by the Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership and Ethics, the invitation-only summit will also bring together representatives from leading academic and practitioner organizations as well as individuals from within Duke University and beyond to discuss ways to respond to the urgent need to develop ethical leaders.

Interactive sessions include group discussions on leveraging human capacity and talent and identifying emerging challenges to effective leadership. Attendees will participate in a basketball practice session at Cameron Indoor Stadium, during which Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke University men’s basketball team and the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team, will impart leadership lessons in the context of team sport.

Other participants include Martin E. Dempsey, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff; David Gergen, Senior Political Analyst for CNN, Director of the Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership, advisor to four U.S. presidents; and Sheri McCoy, Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee for Johnson & Johnson.  

The Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics was established in 2004 in partnership with Duke University's Kenan Institute for Ethics and Duke University Athletics. The center supports rigorous research, offers a leadership and ethics concentration for MBA students, advises a cadre of leadership fellows, offers executive education courses, and hosts a number of programs fostering executive leadership development.
