CELEBRATING COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION
Across four days in March, 300+ educators from all 29 member institutions exchanged best practices, expertise and insights to re-imagine the future of entrepreneurship education at the Collaborative Global Summit. The sessions were thought-provoking, conversations were rich, and enthusiasm was high. A special thank you to our Advisory Board and 40+ presenters for your time, dedication, and commitment to making our first virtual summit a great success!

REMEMBERING COLLEEN FOSTER
Our Collaborative family mourns the passing of a dear colleague and friend, Colleen Foster, Associate Professor and Chair of the Business Department, at the American University of Afghanistan. As we share memories of Colleen, words used to describe her include brave, powerful, vibrant, joyful, colorful and fun. She will be remembered for being full of life, big ideas, and incredible passion and enthusiasm for her students and the work she was doing at AUAF... and of course for her signature red lipstick. 
Colleen's loved ones and colleagues at AUAF and around the world are in our thoughts and in our hearts during this sad time.
