Drawing on her leadership at Dickinson, Samantha Brandauer '95 will reflect on what it takes to lead international education through periods of uncertainty, disruption and rapid change. Her talk will explore Dickinson’s approach to global learning—one that is centered on equity, community-based partnerships, shared governance and institutional responsibility—and how that model has guided decision making during moments of crisis and transition. Samantha will also discuss the experiences of leading teams and programs across borders, balancing risk and opportunity and sustaining purpose, care and global engagement when the ground is shifting beneath us.

Cost:
$30 per person
$25 per person for classes of 2021-25

Space is limited. Please register by Friday, May 1.
