To close our Meet the Scholar series, Graduate Commons Program Director, Lisa Valela, interviewed Mark Gearan, Director of the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government. A leading voice at the intersection of education and public service, Mark has held numerous leadership roles in American politics, government, and education, including Director of the Peace Corps, White House Communications Director, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff. Valela asked Gearan what is means to be a servant leader, especially during these turbulent political times.
