Donna O'Brien-Sokic, full-time faculty in the Film & Television Production Diploma, successfully completed her Master of Arts in Global Leadership at Royal Roads University. The MA in Global Leadership program addresses the need in society to educate and develop professionals and business leaders in both the private and public sector to be capable of working in global or multicultural contexts. The globally minded professional and business leader is capable of thinking systemically and communicating with diverse peoples across a multicultural context. Donna's research for her thesis paper, Indigenous Leadership and the Solutions Economy, demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge of the social-political and economic dynamics that drive the global world, and how anchoring business in a core set of values that respects all people regardless of race, religion, gender, age, socio-economic status, class, geography, etc., and is capable of self-growth, self-awareness, resiliency and adaptability.

Congratulations to Donna on this incredible achievement!
