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.

Andrea Morehouse

I have been lucky enough to explore the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. In high school I participated in American Music Abroad and explore 4 European countries (including France) as we sang and played in different festivals, churches, and other sites. While in college, I spent a term in India studying to intersection of art, culture, and business. Since completing my bachelors I have both lead and supported programs for high school students through New York Times Student Journeys and Putney Student Travel in the United Kingdom, Italy, and the United States. Throughout my time abroad I know I have not only expanded my own perspectives, but have also help others expand their own cultural perspectives and have an enriching global experience. I cannot wait to help you have an enriching global experience in Cannes.
