The Courage to Challenge: Breaking Silence, Igniting Change | ASU+GSV Summit 2026

Rosa Flores (National Reporter, MS NOW) leads April Montgomery-Goble (Former Executive Director, KIPP Chicago), Marissa Farrar (Chief People Officer, Turnitin), Marjorie Hass (President, Council of Independent Colleges; Former President, Rhodes College), Larz May (Founder and Executive Director, #HalfTheStory | Co-Founder and CEO, Ginko), and Angie Gaylord (Chief Academic Officer, Dallas ISD) at the ASU+GSV Summit 2026 in The Courage to Challenge: Breaking Silence, Igniting Change to examine how education can confront power, accountability, and moral courage.

In the face of ongoing failures to center female victims, hold violators accountable, and confront the inexplicable silence and assaults on global democracy, we must ask: What should we be teaching boys and girls about power, love and moral courage?

GSV is hosting a Power of Women Series – a broad ranging, interactive conversation, to grapple with deeper questions: How do cultures of power, silence, and complicity take root—and why are they so hard to disrupt? How do we teach and lead “PreK to Gray” in light of this? How do we ensure ALL people have equal access to the future at school and work?
