Humanities in the Real World: a workshop for graduate students with Anne Krook

The BU Center for the Humanities is presenting "Humanities in the Real World: a workshop for graduate students with Anne Krook. Anne Krook began her career as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

She then worked as VP of Operations at the startup, Mindbloom, and then as VP of Operations at Synapse.
