Nineteen reflects on nineteen lessons inspired by Robarts’ son Haydn, whose short life shaped the perspectives shared in the book. Blending memoir, philosophy, and reflections from religion and science, the session expands these ideas into a broader dialogue: what it means to support children without over-protecting them, how resilience develops over time, and how physical and emotional environments — from campuses to homes — influence growth.

The afternoon includes a keynote sharing, panel dialogue, Q&A, and book signing, with a casual pre-event mixer beforehand.
