Caperton, first F. Duke Perry Professor of Leadership Studies, to lecture Nov. 4
Former Governor Gaston Caperton has been named the first F. Duke Perry Professor of Leadership Studies. He will be on campus November 4 for a roundtable discussion on leadership. President James Clements will moderate the discussion.

The event will take place at 7 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. The event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.

“Gaston Caperton is a world-class businessman, public servant and educational innovator,” said Lisa DeFrank-Cole, director of the Leadership Studies Program. “We are pleased that he has agreed to serve as the first F. Duke Perry Professor of Leadership Studies. He represents a portrait of what one can accomplish in life through determination and a commitment to the principals of leadership. Our students, and the community, will benefit greatly from his insight and experience.”

The F. Duke Perry Professor of Leadership Studies was endowed by the Board of Directors of the WVU Foundation in 2007. The endowment honors WVU Foundation President F. Duke Perry and benefits the Leadership Studies Program in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.

Perry led the non-profit WVU Foundation from 1999 to 2006. During that time, he provided leadership and direction that produced over $900 million in private and corporate gifts to support the mission of West Virginia University.

For more information about the event, please contact Lisa DeFrank-Cole at lisa.defrank-cole@mail.wvu.edu.
