Dr. Peter Garland, Executive Vice Chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), joined us for our Week 8 seminar. He has been in this position since October 2006. His duties include overseeing the major functional areas in the Office of the Chancellor; serving as liaison to university presidents and the System's Board of Governors; leading major System-wide projects, programs and initiatives; and coordinating the work of vice chancellors and other executive staff. The discussion highlighted the importance of study abroad for people within all academic majors. Dr. Garland also told us that he uses his undergraduate work the most in his day-to-day job activities. (He earned bachelor’s degrees in English and psychology from The College of William and Mary, as well as other degrees later on.)
