Recognizing Madeleine Albright
Dear 成人AV community members,
As you may have heard, today we lost a beloved member of the 成人AV community, former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. The 成人AV had in Albright an enthusiastic, inspirational and passionate champion. She saw in the University and our mission a profound ability to build a better future for all. And in our students, she saw the vision, dedication and leadership the world needs.听
The daughter of Josef Korbel, late 成人AV dean, founder and namesake for the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, Madeleine Albright and her family have had an enduring impact on the 成人AV. Albright, a committed philanthropist, helped established the Josef Korbel Endowed Fellowship Fund, which provides support to master鈥檚 and doctoral students at our esteemed Korbel School. As well, she was generous with her time and the incredible value of her experiences. She often engaged with the 成人AV community personally by attending events and speaking directly with our students, faculty and community members. Most recently, we welcomed Albright to 成人AV to speak with another former U.S. Secretary of State and 成人AV alumna, Condoleezza Rice.
Madeleine Albright鈥檚 legacy is a testament to an illustrious career. A professor, author, diplomat and businesswoman, Albright鈥檚 work is distinguished by a lifelong commitment to making a difference. Serving as the first female U.S. Secretary of State from 1997-2001, Albright broke barriers and helped lead the country through complex challenges. She also worked on a number of foundations serving global justice, as a strategic consultant and as a writer and globally recognized thought leader.
Madeleine Albright was an advocate, supporter, advisor and friend to the 成人AV. We are grateful and honored to have had so much time and opportunity to learn from her, and we send our heartfelt condolences to her loved ones. She will be so missed here at 成人AV.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Haefner
