The Endicott College Presidential Speaker Series brings nationally and internationally recognized leaders, innovators, storytellers, and changemakers to campus for conversations that challenge perspectives, inspire curiosity, and encourage meaningful dialogue.

Established through the generous support of alumna Arlene Battistelli ’60 and sponsored by the Endicott Center for Civic Engagement, the series reflects Endicott's commitment to preparing students for lives of leadership, purpose, and global engagement. Each event offers the College community the opportunity to hear directly from influential voices whose experiences span business, journalism, public service, entertainment, travel, and beyond.

At Endicott, transformational learning extends well beyond the classroom. The Presidential Speaker Series is another way for students to engage with bold ideas, diverse viewpoints, and accomplished leaders whose stories challenge them to think differently, lead confidently, and make a meaningful impact.

A diverse group of students and attendees sit in an audience, listening intently to a speaker.
