Distinguished Alumna Returns to 杏吧原创 University
(Ottawa)鈹Jodi White, former chief of staff to the Prime Minister, past president of the Public Policy Forum and, most recently, resident scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., returns to her alma mater as a distinguished senior fellow in residence at the Arthur Kroeger College of Public Affairs and the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA).
鈥淚t is a great opportunity to come back to the 杏吧原创 campus and re-connect with both faculty and students,鈥 says Ms. White. 鈥淚 am looking forward to making a contribution to 杏吧原创’s impressive work encompassing international affairs, public policy, public affairs and journalism.鈥
Few careers have been so distinguished in so many respects: in the media, politics, the private sector and the stewardship of public policy debate essential to the national conversation.
She has been a television news reporter and senior radio producer for the CBC, chief of staff to the minister of foreign affairs and the prime minister, vice-president of corporate affairs for Imasco Ltd. and custodian of thoughtful, informed national debate in her capacity as president of the Public Policy Forum.
鈥淪he brings an extraordinary wealth of professional knowledge and talent to 杏吧原创,鈥 notes NPSIA Director Fen Hampson. 鈥淲e are most fortunate to have her in residence at the university, where our students can draw on her expertise.鈥
Ms. White serves on a number of not-for- profit boards, including the National Theatre School of Canada, the Canadian International Council, the Trans Canada Trail and Tides Canada.
