| Introduction | I maintain two blogs - Pursuing Leadership by Denny (my emerging ideas and book reviews related to leadership) and Global Student Affairs (issues and resources for internationalization of higher education). These blogs offer insight into my views and are essential tools in my ongoing writing and consulting, pursued after 50 years in higher education in the U.S.A. , Luxembourg, and Qatar. I am an advocate for quality education and its transforming impact on student learning. |
| Interests | History of higher education Leadership Studies/Development. Music of all sorts. The content selection and opinions expressed here are solely mine and reflect no organization or institution with which I am currently or was previously affiliated. |
| Favorite movies | My favorite movies include: "Music of Strangers" (documentary about Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble), "Join or Die" (documentary about the need to renew community), "Departures" (Japanese film about seeking purpose), "Soloist" (film combining issues of homelessness and giftedness), and "The hundred foot journey" (about aspiration and growing respect across culture). |
| Favorite music | I'm nuts about Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Piazzola, Gershwin, some Broadway shows, and some New Age. |
| Favorite books | Too many to list - all are noted in my blog posts. |
