Dr. Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, Inaugural Dean of Founder’s College at Butler University, and Dr. Francis Bowen, Butler University Assistant Professor of Data Analytics and Business Intelligence, hosted five international researchers from De Berkenschutse (The Netherlands) on the Butler campus this month to learn more about their efforts to address chronic absenteeism, specifically how they are making a global impact through Fight for Life Foundation’s Building Dreams.
The international team of researchers and practitioners, who expressed a desire to make similar impacts in their country, enjoyed a campus tour and connected with two of Butler’s own international students: Joost de Schutter and Vygo Verkooijen, North Brabant, Netherlands, and spent time with Assistant Professor Monique Harris of Butler’s College of Education. They were joined by members of the Fight for Life Foundation team and Dr. Tihesha Henderson, Founder and Executive Director of Sankofa School of Success.
