Hansen Speakers Series

Each year, Doane College welcomes well-known and engaging speakers to campus through the Hansen Speaker Series.

These leaders hail from across the world and visit Doane to share their experiences through small classroom visits and informal discussion with you. 

The centerpiece of the Hansen Speaker Series is the evening keynote assembly. The keynote assemblies are held on campus and are open to the public.

Guests are selected by the Hansen Leadership Advisory Board, a group of students who consider nominations for speakers.
