This is the ninth installment of the interview series called 'Foster the GCs.' I spoke with Rob Duran who is a 2nd year student at Soka University of America in the Masters of Arts program in Educational Leadership and Societal Change. Rob has many years of work experience in the non-profit education sector and his current research interests look to how the private sector and public sector negotiate and form agreements on social responsibility to fund public education for the betterment of society. Check out how the mission statement of SUA ties into Rob's journey to build community on campus, while envisioning a world that values an education that informs how one lives a contributive life. Enjoy!
