2009年5月4日，哈佛大學肯尼迪政府學院Arnold M. Howitt教授受邀到管理與經濟學院進行訪問,，并在研究生樓102教室作題為“Leadership in Crises”的學術報告。校黨委副書記侯光明熱情接待了Howitt教授,，對Howitt教授在北理工代表團訪問哈佛大學肯尼迪政府學院時給予的熱情接待表示感謝,，同時對他來校作報告表示熱烈歡迎，雙方互贈紀念品,。
侯光明主持并全程參加了Howitt教授的演講,。國際交流合作處處長王慶林、管理與經濟學院院長魏一鳴,、管理與經濟學院書記李金林,、管理與經濟學院副院長李健、孔昭君及100余位來自管理與經濟學院公共事業(yè)管理專業(yè),、國際貿易專業(yè),、工商管理專業(yè)、管理科學與工程專業(yè)和MBA的師生出席了報告會,，我院教師戚淳擔任翻譯,。
Howitt教授的演講首先回顧了近年來發(fā)生在中國的幾次重大危機事件，通過對危機進行分級,，詳細闡述了在危機管理中領導力的重要性和應用,，接著對危機進行了分級別的定義，又針對不同層級的危機進行了深入淺出的剖析,。最后,，通過對比中國和美國在危機管理中的不同點，向與會聽眾展示了美國危機管理的經驗和教訓,，對我院師生在危機管理領域的認識有很大啟迪,。
在演講進行的過程中， Howitt教授和我院師生進行了互動式的交流,，不但回答了現(xiàn)場聽眾提出的問題,，也聽取了觀眾對危機管理的看法和建議。雙方著重討論了危機在不同地區(qū),、不同條件下的分級,、危機的演進過程和對不同層次危機的管理體制。在演講結束前,， Howitt教授還號召廣大與會的同學們將來獻身危機管理事業(yè),，真正把學到手的知識應用到為祖國建立一套完整的危機應對體系上，用自己的學識和力量在危機來臨的時候報效國家,。
