President Ronald A. Crutcher will offer insights on leadership in challenging times, during a live virtual forum hosted Monday by the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Chronicle reporter Katie Mangan will talk with Crutcher about the intersections of music, leading a university, and some lessons he's learned as he prepares to step down as Richmond’s 10th president, a role he’s held since 2015. The interview is part of an ongoing leadership series the Chronicle offers.

In addition to his role as UR’s president, Crutcher is a national leader in higher education and serves on the boards of the Association of American Colleges & Universities and the American Council of Education (ACE).

A classical musician and professor of music, Crutcher will also perform a live cello piece during the event. The forum, which is free but requires registration, is scheduled for Monday, July 19, at 2 p.m. ET.
