Leanne Johnson
- Assistant Director, Global Perspective Program
I work with the Dean of the Interdisciplinary & Global Studies Division (IGSD), the Director of Global Operations, our project center directors, and faculty advisors to ensure that WPI students complete projects through the Global Perspective Program in safe, well-managed, and sustainable ways. This entails a lot of things, but one of my favorites is preparing our students for the cultural, social, and logistical challenges that are part of a study abroad experience. Living and working abroad – especially on the kinds of projects WPI students do – should be an enriching experience that expands students’ knowledge of the world, and their awareness of the diversity of life. It’s my responsibility to help ensure that everything is in place to foster a positive and productive off-campus project experience. I also enjoy speaking with and meeting parents who have questions about our application process, the project center their student is going to, the living arrangements, the expenses associated with the projects, and many other issues. My newest and best interest in life is my daughter Madison! Learning how to be a Mom is spiritual, amazing, hilarious, fascinating, and so much more. Chocolate, cooking, NPR, shopping, dogs, jazz, poetry... these are also things I love.
