I’ve had the good fortune to work closely with Dr. Dana Starr Cummings on several higher education focused philanthropic initiatives. She is a strategic thinker that is capable of thinking through all angles of complex situations, leveraging her emotional intelligence to understand how to best tackle the challenge at hand. She is a solutions oriented leader, but at the heart of it all, is her strong moral compass whereby she tackles her work with a passion and conviction that is both admirable and contagious.
