HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Organizational Communication Association will host guest speaker Rear Admiral Timothy McGee on Wednesday, April 12, at 4 p.m. in D Vickers Hall, room 138.
McGee will discuss what he has found to be the key components of effective leadership. A native of Washington D.C., he is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and also received a master’s degree in meteorology and oceanography from the Naval Postgraduate School.
McGee has held many leadership positions while in the United States Navy including serving as officer in charge of the Naval Oceanography Command Detachment in Diego Garcia, British Ocean Territory, commander of the Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Facility in San Diego, and executive officer of the Naval Oceanographic Office.
He has also received prestigious awards such as the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Pacific Sleet’s Ship Handler of the Year award, and various campaign and unit ribbons.
“Admiral McGee’s extensive experience in the military coupled with impressive educational credentials generate particularly enlightening discussions concerning leadership, especially at this point in time,” said Suzette Bryan, faculty advisor for the Organizational Communication Association. “Also, he has a great sense of humor and is a very entertaining speaker.”
The lecture is free for all Southeastern students, faculty, staff, and alumni. A reception will precede the event at 3:30 p.m. in the D Vickers lobby.
