Join the editors of The Campus Crisis Toolkit: Strategies and Solidarity for the Rest of Us for a virtual town hall on how faculty, staff, and students are navigating complex challenges, closures, and cuts in higher education. We’ll explore where global education overlaps with broader campus crises and where it diverges.

Speakers:

Dr. Lisa M. Di Bartolomeo is Singer-Hill Professor Emerita of Humanities at West Virginia University, where she ran the Russian program until the Department of World Languages was eliminated. She now works for a national environmental organization.

Dr. Kevin Gannon is the Director of the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence and Professor of History at Queens University in Charlotte, NC. He is the author of Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto, and along with Lisa DiBartolomeo, co-editor of The Campus Crisis Toolkit: Strategies and Solidarity for the Rest of Us.

Dr. Kelly McGee is Senior Director of University Partnerships at EUSA – Academic Internship Experts, where she drives institutional engagement, partnership strategy, and development. She brings a cross-sector perspective to her leadership philosophy, shaped by roles across higher education, government and government-adjacent organizations, the nonprofit sector, immersive language programming, and academic research. She is co-editor of the forthcoming STAR Scholars volume (with Dr. Maureen Manning), Work-Integrated Learning in Higher Education: Internships, Apprenticeships, Practicums, and Experiential Pathways to Employability.
