Unfiltered perspectives on global issues by research and academic leaders
Letter from the Editor
This is the 26th issue of Not Alone: Leaders in Focus. As we enter our third year, I want to thank the more than 30,000 readers who receive the newsletter monthly via email and the many others who visit this website. Thank you for your loyal following, for your support and for making Not Alone a success.
Not Alone is a service. It is designed to disseminate the ideas of established, extraordinary academic leaders to inspire, generate conversation and showcase the best in academia and related businesses and institutions. The contributions are short and deal with a single subject, by design.

Prof Rafael L Bras, ScD
This month, our contributor is Allan Goodman, CEO of the Institute of International Education. Word on the street is that US institutions are losing their attractiveness to international students, and market share. The paradox Goodman presents is that despite all the dire predictions, the enrollment of international students in the US is increasing faster than ever.
New video series
There are times when the subject matter and the essence of the leader cannot be fully conveyed in a short written piece. For that reason, we are thrilled to introduce Not Alone: Conversations with Leaders. These videos — and future podcasts — will explore individuals and subject matter in depth to convey a textured message. This month, we feature Freeman Hrabowski, who for 30 years presided over the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). In our interview, we learn how his upbringing as an African American in segregated Alabama during the 1960s shaped this extraordinary leader. (You can find the video at the top of the story queue below.)
What’s ahead?
In July, Sarah Mangelsdorf, President of the University of Rochester, will address the complexity of supporting free speech and the right to protest while keeping campuses functional. We will also be releasing two other video interviews: one with Nancy Hopkins and the other with a panel of MIT professors: Lorna Gibson, Lotte Bailyn and Sylvia Ceyer. In the late 1990s, Hopkins led a group of faculty (including the three panelists) that produced MIT’s Women in Science report, which put the spotlight on the discrimination and biases women scientists endured even in lofty institutions like MIT. This watershed effort changed the gender discussion in academia.
