Ann Kephart
@annkephart
I design inclusive, cohort-based learning experiences that connect research, people, and communities at scale.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've spent more than twenty years, primarily at Harvard Business School, designing and leading interdisciplinary, cohort-based learning experiences that translate research into practice. Most recently, I led Alumni Curriculum and Alumni Programs, partnering with faculty and institutional leaders to expand the reach and impact of academic work.
At heart, I'm an educator energized by connecting people, ideas, and communities across difference. I build inclusive intellectual communities and create meaningful opportunities for learning and collaboration.
