🌍 Last week we proudly kicked off our Global Studies program! This optional program is centered on student-selected, beyond-the-classroom learning experiences focused on themes of world importance in our time. We were thrilled to host Ms. JoEllen Urban ’82, a respected member of Bishop O’Connell’s Board of Governors and the Senior Trade Advisor and Africa Team Lead at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Ms. Urban shared her invaluable expertise on trade and intellectual property.
