"The global environment in which we find ourselves highlights the importance of continuing to maintain excellence within the Ackerman Center."

- Kerry Wildenthal Fagelman, Chair of the Ackerman Center Advisory Board

Kerry shares her father's passion for the Ackerman Center, and we are excited to work with her as she takes the helm of our advisory board. Over the past three decades, the Ackerman Center has built an international reputation for impactful research, education, and advocacy, and as a result, we are attracting outstanding students from across the globe who are able to take the lessons that they learn here back to their home communities. Kerry emphasizes "the importance of maintaining, excelling, and continuing the growth trajectory" of the Ackerman Center.

We greatly value the counsel and support of our advisory board and look forward to continuing that relationship with Kerry.

Sincerely,

Dr. Nils Roemer
