George Fox University welcomes Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of Intel Corporation, to campus for an engaging and timely lecture: “Big Tech & Big Responsibility: F.AI.th, Work, and Preparing the Next Generation – How Industry Leaders Can Foster Ethical Innovation.”

The lecture will be on Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Chapel credit will be given to students who attend. You can claim seats by visiting this link.

This lecture is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential minds in technology and leadership. Gelsinger will explore the ethical responsibilities of tech leaders in an AI-driven world, the intersection of faith and work, and how we can equip the next generation to lead with integrity in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Gelsinger dedicated 30 years to Intel before stepping away to become CEO of VMware, where he led the company’s transformation into a global powerhouse in cloud infrastructure, enterprise mobility, and cybersecurity – nearly tripling its annual revenue.

In 2019, his visionary leadership and dedication to a positive workplace culture earned him the title of America’s top CEO in Glassdoor’s annual employee survey. In 2021, he returned to Intel as CEO, taking the helm to guide the company into its next era of innovation and growth.

All students, staff and faculty are invited to utilize the chapel for quiet prayer and reflection during designated open hours.

Those seeking a moment of peace and spiritual connection can do so on Mondays between 12:30 and 2 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7 and 9 a.m. through the end of the semester.

Then, everyone will have a chance to pick a topic about which people at their table disagree, and have a potentially eye-opening conversation about it. All are invited to practice the skills we will need to be healing agents in our fractured political culture!
