Providing full degrees and a world class Australian education in Sri Lanka, Edith Cowan University (ECU), Sri Lanka is among the premier academic institutions in the country.
To foster an atmosphere of change and equip future leaders with the right skills to guide the nation out of its present circumstances, ECU – Sri Lanka hosted a corporate leadership seminar titled “The Need of the Hour: Exploring the roles and responsibilities of contemporary corporate leadership”, on May 27, at the Lavender Room of the BMICH in Colombo from 6.00pm to 7.30pm.
The speakers at the event were Sriyan De Silva Wijeyeratne, Managing Director of the Hemas Consumer Business and a Director of the Hemas Group and Kumudini Welmillage, Group HR Director at CBL Group. The forum was moderated by Dr Nuwan Wimalana, a Business Consultant, Corporate Director and Visiting Lecturer at ECU Sri Lanka.
ECU Sri Lanka General Manager David Mathews said, “We believe in a student focussed and hands-on, practical approach to education, in order to equip students, not just with knowledge, but also with life and leadership skills. Industry-led sessions, where students can get insights from established corporate leaders, can add value to their academic pursuits and help them to emerge as strong leaders themselves.”
The seminar was actively attended by students of commerce at ECU – Sri Lanka, along with many distinguished corporate leaders and members of the faculty.
ECU Sri Lanka Head of Marketing and Admissions Sarath Perera said, “We’re very pleased to have been able to host such an event, where not just the students all in attendance were able to gain many insights on contemporary corporate leadership.”
