YOUR LEADERS


Nancy J. Gray, Ph.D.
I have traveled throughout the Americas, Asia, and Europe (most often via bicycle) and spent a semester abroad in England during my studies. I encourage every student to be curious about the world and to travel as far and as often as they can. This is because travel gives to new, wide-open eyes to better see your work and your world. Because, per Ray Bradbury, "See the World. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories." Because there is no better catalyst for creativity! This is why I am so very excited for this program - it gives you the opportunity to travel and supercharge your knowledge and creativity. Expect three weeks of inspiration, learning, networking, and exploring the power and effectiveness of creative marketing communications.

Jasmin Hunter
I'm originally from Los Angeles, California and have had the opportunities to study abroad while in high school, live abroad in Mexico, and spend time travelling in Europe and Central America. Every moment spent abroad is a chance to expand your cultural perspective and develop both personally and professionally. As an advising professional there are few things more rewarding than hearing a student share how much they valued their global experience and education. I cannot wait to see how your stories unfold and look forward to supporting you in any way I can while in Cannes.
