In July, Charlotte Jacobs, GSE Assistant Adjunct Professor and GSWS Executive Board Member, traveled to Johannesburg to participate in a conference organized by the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG).

Jacobs shared her expertise on the subject and collaborated with other educators from around the globe. Read more on the GSE News page.
