Monmouth University political science professor and dean of the Honors School, Dr. Kevin Dooley, served as the keynote speaker at the Ranney School\u2019s Upper School Fall Convocation on November 22, 2011 in Tinton Falls, NJ. The theme for this year\u2019s convocation was \u201cLeadership and Ethics in Politics.\u201d Dr. Dooley spoke about how the mission of higher education can and must inspire civic responsibility and an overall understanding of the relationship between leadership and ethics.<\/p>\n
Upholding the school\u2019s longstanding tradition of hosting a prominent keynote speaker at Fall Convocation, Dr. Dooley has enjoyed outstanding success in the fields of comparative European politics, globalization, and ethics in international relations. He is the author of Politics Still Matters: Globalization, Governance, and the Revival of Regional Minorities<\/em>(2008) and co-author with fellow Monmouth University colleague Dr. Joseph Patten, of the book Why Politics Matters: An Introduction to Political Science<\/em> (2012). Dr. Dooley left all seniors with one simple request \u2014 that when looking at colleges or universities, they choose a higher educational facility that strives to benefit society at large as well as to educate the entire human being.<\/p>\n The 2011 Fall Convocation concluded as Dr. Dooley and the seniors continued their ethical discussion over an intimate and informal lunch in the Searle Library. As a sign of appreciation for Dr. Dooley\u2019s strong leadership skills within various positions at Monmouth University, and as a show of thanks for his participation at Ranney\u2019s Fall Convocation, he was also presented with a $1,000 check toward the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr. Kevin Dooley Speaks About Leadership<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"person":[],"audience":[11],"school":[116],"program":[],"class_list":["post-32212263913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-academic-excellence","audience-current-student","school-honors-school"],"squareimage":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32212263913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32212263913"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32212263913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40802259379,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32212263913\/revisions\/40802259379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32212263913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32212263913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32212263913"},{"taxonomy":"person","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person?post=32212263913"},{"taxonomy":"audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/audience?post=32212263913"},{"taxonomy":"school","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/school?post=32212263913"},{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=32212263913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
