Our guest is Dr. Anton Reese,  president and CEO of the Western Kentucky Community and Technical College. We invited Dr. Reece on to discuss the impact of travel on education, primarily with college students. He discusses the impact his international students have had on the university he leads along with the positive impact his American students have had as a result of traveling abroad. At a time in America fraught with turmoil over our differences, we wanted to examine the idea of getting to know each other better as a way to foster a spirit of togetherness.

Dr. Reece has a distinguished career in education that spans three decades. He earned his doctoral degree in educational psychology and research from the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Dr. Reese is a much sought after public speaker and has an extensive communications background. He has a history of landmark achievements, including being the first African American Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Kentucky Community College System. Dr. Reese sums up his leadership style is empowering others to find their voice and by achieving their education and career dreams with direction and purpose.
