Paleoanthropologist Conservationist Activist
 
Richard Leakey
Audience Comments

A charming man. He gives a great lecture. Amazingly enough, in this age of power point presentations and slide shows and razzle dazzle, it's a rare individual who can stand behind a podium, speak, and have everyone's attention riveted upon him and that is exactly what happened.
 East Carolina University


 
Richard Leakey was fantastic. The hall was filled (650), and all eyes and ears were on him. What a brilliant man. His talk was eloquent, funny, insightful, inspirational. He touched so many bases, but concluded with the theme of compassion as being a characteristic, a most important characteristic, of human beings. Everyone loved him.
 Kenyon College


 
It has been an honor to present Richard Leakey, a premier environmental crusader of the new century and a 1999 recipient of our Founders’ Award for World Service.

...Dr. Leakey's visit was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my nearly 20 years of lecture programming. He is a consummate professional; warm and charming, firm yet gracious. Rarely, if ever, have I heard a speaker impact such a vast body of knowledge without losing his audience for even a moment. Dr. Leakey is that remarkable gem of a speaker who entertains as well as he educates.

Calls of congratulation began at 9 am. on Saturday and have continued daily...Members of OHSU when are we going to do an encore.
 Oregon Health Sciences University


 
...He was gracious, accommodating and seemed sincerely interested in interacting with students.

His delivery was clear, concise, peppered with humor and quite informative.
