Alan (Al) Guskin, PhD, former Antioch University chancellor, president emeritus, founder of the university’s PhD in Leadership & Change program, and a change agent who inspired the Peace Corps and helped found AmeriCorps VISTA, will culminate his 30-year career at an evening of celebration and reflection on Wednesday, July 29 at AUM’s PNC Auditorium at 900 Dayton Street in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The presentation portion of the event, during which Guskin will discuss Looking Back and Going Forward: The Creation of the PhD Program in Leadership and Change – Why, How and What Comes Next, begins at 7 pm. A reception to honor Guskin’s contributions to higher education and social justice will be held from 8 to 9 pm; both are free to attend and open to the public.

Guskin, who has worked for more three decades as a teacher, leader, administrator, organizational change consultant, and tireless advocate for social justice, was a driving force in the creation of the PhD in Leadership and Change program at Antioch University, where he currently holds the title of Distinguished University Professor of Higher Education Change.
