Randie Gottlieb with Oak Ritchie, Orlando 2012

Check out this short interview with Oak Ritchie on the topic of Education at SteadyFlowBlog.com.

“Your diversity training in November was one of the three most highly rated activities of the whole program and they had amazing things to say about you and the workshop.  We would love to invite you to do another training with our next YLP group. Thank you!”

- Alison Kilkenny, Manager of Educational Programs / Foundation for International Understanding Through Students (FIUTS), University of Washington

Dr. Gottlieb was in Orlando once again, this time for a presentation on UnityWorks itself:

* What is UnityWorks?
* How and why did it get started and how does it work?
* What are some of the challenges, successes and lessons learned?
* Opportunities and next steps?

The session was repeated twice to an enthusiastic crowd.

“ It was so wonderful to meet you and work with you for our Youth Leadership Program with Azerbaijan. The students loved your session!  We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
