Guest Speakers:

For GLI’s last monthly dinner of the semester, we had the privilege of welcoming 4 honorary guests to speak to our cohort! The night opened up with Dr. Wayne E. Carlson and Dr. Gifty Ako-Adounvo giving remarks on their own personal journey to where they are today. Additionally, they tied in the importance of internationalization and cultural diversity to their stories, and supports the impact that GLI is making here. The guests and cohort were then able to enjoy the rest of the night over a warm dinner and meaningful conversations.

On behalf of GLI, we want to express many thanks to the guests for joining us for our monthly dinner. We look forward to ending the semester with our potluck next Monday, November 30th – hope to see everybody there!

Lastly, we want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!
