Greetings & Connections: Higher Education Circle Kickoff!

[DrTracieJB]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Dr. Tracie Jones Barrett. I’m excited to be part of this community and to launch a new Higher Education Circle. Our first gathering will be Tuesday, August 26th at 4:00pm EST — a space to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another about the evolving landscape of higher ed.

By way of introduction, I work at MIT in Cambridge, MA on leadership development, belonging, and community building. While my work is based at MIT, I live in Summerville, South Carolina and work mostly remotely.

Looking forward to connecting with you all and building this space together!
