This year’s Sobey School Lead With Purpose Day will explore how organizations can stay true to their purpose while navigating a rapidly changing world. In particular, climate change is provoking a transition in the energy sector, which businesses must grapple with. 

Join us for Lead with Purpose Day 2026 to explore climate resilience and the sustainable energy transition from regional and national perspectives. Connect with students, faculty, industry professionals and community leaders through a fireside conversation with a special guest to be announced, a panel discussion featuring business and community leaders with diverse perspectives, and networking opportunities to connect and explore career pathways.

 Lead With Purpose Day was formerly known as Responsible Leadership Day.
