Leadership Retreat Facilitator:
Adam Holden, UMBC PhD Student in Language, Literacy, and Culture Program- Areas of Research Interest: Intercultural/international education, sustainability (environmental, social, economic), leadership development
Adam earned a BA in International Studies and Spanish at Willamette University and a MA in Educational Leadership & Policy with foci in Civic Engagement & Community-Based Learning and Student Affairs from Portland State University. Professionally, Adam spent the last seven years working in a variety of Student Affairs positions at Chemeketa Community College, but primarily in Student Retention & College Life where he served as advisor to student government and coordinator of student organizations, service-learning, the LGBTQ+ Safe Zone, and free speech activities. As part of this work, he taught leadership classes where groups of students completed service projects at an on-campus youth farm and individual students served as college access mentors at local Boys & Girls Clubs. Personally, Adam is committed to ongoing, lifelong learning and personal growth which is one of many reasons he chose to return to school for the LLC doctoral program
