We had the privilege of participating in the Ashoka U Exchange last week. Below you will find a link to some of our photos and brief summaries of the experience from our faculty members.

Dr. Carol Whelan:
The Ashoka U Exchange was the sixth one I have attended and the BEST! Working together with the Taylor Center leaders, the Tulane Teacher Certification faculty and staff and students as well as Lusher School staff and faculty to help make it a success made the Exchange even more engaging. Visiting the classes at our partner changemaker school, Lusher Charter Elementary, with folks from England, Singapore, Ireland, and the US, made me realize how fortunate we are to have such a great partners. Also, in our session, I remember a quote used by Greg Van Kirk, the Ashoka North America Empathy Leader who shared an African quote: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Together we are making empathy a priority in our program and it is making a difference in many positive ways.
