Join Dr. JeffriAnne Wilder, Dr. Tammy Hodo, and Gardy Guiteau for a candid, reflective conversation about their journey creating one of the nation’s first global master’s degree programs in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Leadership at Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GC NYC). In this episode, the trio shares the story of how they came together, the unique vision and impact of the program, and the challenges they faced when the program was unexpectedly paused. They discuss the importance of community, the evolving landscape of DEI work, and what continues to guide their leadership and commitment to social justice.
