Director Of Global Education
Hartwick College
Dr. Sagasti Suppes, who immigrated from Peru as a child, started her work with immigrant communities in the United States when, at the age of sixteen, she completed a training course on teaching English as a second language and proceeded to teach on a volunteer basis in evening programs through the Northern Virginia Literacy Council. She earned her Bachelor's from Sweet Briar College with majors in Spanish and French, and a minor in English. She then went on to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco, working with rural communities to improve health and hygiene, focusing most of her work on the needs of women and children. After her service, she studied at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned a Master's and a Ph.D. in Latin American literature, and has worked in various faculty and administrative roles. She is currently Director of Global Education at Hartwick College. She is also involved with movements to improve our immigration policies and help immigrants in the US, and in the summer of 2016 received a Jessie Ball duPont grant to participate in a three-week National Humanities Center seminar "Immigration and Citizenship in the United States" in Chapel Hill. Her current research and ongoing projects involve all aspects of the internationalization of the campus and the celebration of diversity in the community.
