CGF with President Sharon Hahs of Northeastern Illinois University

Niagara Foundation is pleased to announce a forum with Dr. Sharon Hahs, President of Northeastern Illinois University on the role of higher education in fostering a global understanding.

Dr. Hahs earned her Ph.D. and M.S. in inorganic chemistry from the University of New Mexico and her B.A. in chemistry from Illinois Weselyan University, Bloomington, Ill. She has been the president of NEIU since 2007. She has more than 30 years experience in higher education.

Dr. Hahs will be speaking on the role of higher education in fostering a global understanding. Specifically, what the benefits and challenges are in terms of this topic. She will be speaking broadly on the subject, but will use experiences from Northeastern Illinois University as examples. As Northeastern is the most diverse public university in the Midwest, Dr. Hahs especially qualified to speak on the role of higher education in a more international perspective.
