My name is Jacqueline Kurlowski and I am the director of the Edgar Dyer Institute for Leadership and Public Policy. Welcome to my desk! I am lucky to have a home office, but I have to share it with my husband who teaches at CCU. My two small children also like to play in the office, so I am often scuttling about with my laptop. I have come to enjoy working on our porch and have decided it the best place to ZOOM.
In addition to wrapping up Dyer Fellowship student projects, I am currently working on the analysis portion of a report for Conway Medical Center which examines patient experiences. The Institute is also involved in the SC7 Expedition – check it out! As a partner in this project, the Dyer Institute is developing and overseeing a multi-regional survey which examines changes in climate. This fall I will be offering an on-line course in grant writing (take a look at this video to learn more) and I will also be teaching a course on Public Policy.
I know that the world is full of uncertainly right now and this can be a source of anxiety for everyone. I feel it daily, so please know you are not alone in these feelings. I want to also share that in my house, we get a daily dose of Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood and I was recently reminded by him to always look for the “helpers.” Please know there are many helpers in our community and at CCU who are doing their part to keep everyone safe and to develop a path forward. I challenge you to do to your part to be a helper too!
