“ My time at Harvard Kennedy School introduced me to conceptual frameworks that I continue to use every day in a range of management and leadership challenges. Not only did I have the opportunity to reflect inward, on the biases and assumptions that were holding me back; I also was able to discuss real-world case studies to put ideas to work. As time passes, I realize how deeply I rely on what I learned and how valuable the experience was to my personal and professional development.” Mary-Kim Arnold, Executive Director, Rhode Island Council for the Humanities
