Since 2021, the Office of the Provost has welcomed speakers from a variety of backgrounds as part of the Impact Talks speaker series, which focuses on understanding the human impact of specific trends, disciplines or industries within communities and societies, welcoming speakers from a variety of backgrounds.
Andrea Prencipe is Professor of Organization and Innovation and has served as rector
of LUISS University since 2018. Innovation is his preferred subject of research and
teaching, as well as the principle inspiring his actions at LUISS. Under his academic
leadership, LUISS University's ultimate goals have been the enquiry-based educational
approach (promoting students' critical and creative thinking), multi- and inter-disciplinary
degree programs, and internationalization.
His works have been published on international journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Industrial and Corporate Change, Organization Science, California Management Review and with international publishers such as Oxford University Press. He sits on the editorial board of Organization Science, International Journal of Project Management, and Research Policy. His work frequently appears on national and international newspapers, such as Corriere della Sera, Sole 24 Ore, and Financial Times.
Sarah Ilchman, co-president at the IIE, advances the strategic excellence, relevance
and impact of the Institute's programmatic work across the world, including the implementation
of the global Fulbright Student and Scholar Programs at IIE. Championing the organization
and advocating its mission to internal and external stakeholders, Ilchman develops
relationships with U.S. and foreign governments, higher education institutions, multi-lateral
organizations and NGOs to promote access to opportunity, advance scholarship and build
economies.
