Testimonials: Brief video that encapsulates the value of the GlobalMindED experience made by the PhD project from the June GlobalMindED conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QGaoo1C-PA I was fortunate enough to spend the past three days in Denver at GlobalMindED Conference as one the The PhD Project speakers. This conference focuses on empowering, equipping, and educating students (many first generation college students) on "what is possible" and "unlocking their potential." Educators, industry professionals, and elected officials all came together to let these students know that they matter and can individually and collectively change organizations, institutions of higher education, and society. #dei #change #highereducation #leadership - Darryl Rice, PhD(He/Him) -Assistant Professor of Management, Miami UniversityI LOVED attending this while I was in grad school!
