The university is honored to welcome revered teacher, humanitarian, businessman, and community leader, Dr. Joseph W. Walker, III, as our featured speaker.

Dr. Walker is Senior Pastor of the historic Mount Zion Baptist Church in Nashville, International Presiding Bishop of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, and a bestselling author whose books, including “Leadership and Loneliness” and “Restored At The Root,” speak to the emotional weight leaders carry and the path toward healing and restoration.

Admission is free, but seating is limited, as previous sessions have reached capacity. This event is open to the public. The link to register can be found here. The event will also be livestreamed on the ASU YouTube Channel.

We hope the community will join ASU President, Dr. Robert Scott, for what promises to be an engaging and impactful evening of leadership, service, and community dialogue surrounding whole-person wellness, resilience & research-driven leadership.

Albany State University President’s Speaking Series takes place Thursday evening, September 24th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Billy C. Black Building Auditorium on the ASU East Campus, 504 College Drive in Albany.
