Accessto water is the greatest risk to global prosperity and addressing the SDGs. Policymakers face multiple challenges regarding water management and must grapple with both an uncertain future and competing interests, while also ensuring there is enough water for people, cities, agriculture and ecosystems. Water Beyond Boundaries will introduce new ways of thinking about sustainable water planning to respond to these challenges.

The status quo approach to addressing challenges in water planning is Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). In the past three decades, IWRM has had a profound impact on water planning practices but has not yielded the level of outcomes required to achieve sustainable water for all, falling short on three levels: space, time and scope. The result has been policies that can inadvertently create conflict or ignore gaps in water management.


Through three new pillars (teleconnections, early ecosystem consideration, multi interest- multi participatory approaches) applied in the Magdalena (Colombia) and Mekong (Asia) watersheds, places where SEI has a presence and has developed a strong reputation and body of work, Water Beyond Boundaries (WBB) will introduce new ways of thinking about sustainable water planning.


Our five-year vision is to respond to the central role of water in the global sustainability agendas by addressing key existing gaps in water management to set it on a more equitable and sustainable trajectory.


WBB will also have an important connection to poverty alleviation and gender and social equity. New analytical tools will enable water planners and policymakers to identify inequalities at multiple scales and dimensions of water use, to identify all stakeholders, and to consider innovative management practices that address inequalities.


SEI will identify and analyse the factors that contribute to reduced water access for women and vulnerable groups. This may include inequalities related to water rights, land ownership, and decision-making. Policies that are environmentally sustainable and equitable require a better understanding of connections beyond the watershed, inclusive participatory approaches, and the water needs of ecosystems. WBB aims to deliver that knowledge and the tools to use it.


Beyond Boundaries: Feminine Forms is a dual-sited exhibition of artworks from the Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and The William and Uytendale Scott Memorial Study Collection of Works by Women Artists of the Special Collections at Bryn Mawr College.


The collaboration, conceived by graduate students in the History of Art, Mechella Yezernitskaya and Laurel McLaughlin, in consultation with Carrie Robbins, Curator of Art & Artifacts, Bryn Mawr College, Jodi Throckmorton, Curator of Contemporary Art, PAFA, and Judith Thomas, Director of Exhibitions, PAFA, brings together two institutions, collections, and curatorial teams for an exhibition that highlights and reexamines each institution's inclusive efforts to collect artworks by women. While considering the historical stakes of such strategic essentialism, the exhibition queries its rationale and continued relevance by recuperating its "feminine" gender criteria as instead an artistic strategy that refuses the gendered stereotypes to which art by women has been subjected. To do so, the curators propose seven thematic constellations for subverting and reclaiming the "feminine" beyond biological, aesthetic, and social boundaries.


The sister-sited exhibition features over 80 works on paper, paintings, and sculptures by 72 artists, including Kara Walker, Lesley Dill, Betye Saar, Edna Andrade, Eleanor Heller, Nancy Spero, Joan Mitchell, and Kay Walkingstick. The two sites will be joined by programming and an exhibition catalogue available at Bryn Mawr College.


English music studies often apply rigid classifications to musical materials, their uses, their consumers, and performers. The contributors to this volume argue that some performers and manuscripts from the early modern era defy conventional categorization as "amateur" or "professional," "native" or "foreign." These leading scholars explore the circulation of music and performers in early modern England, reconsidering previously held ideas about the boundaries between locations of musical performance and practice.

The C-Suite is transforming. The definition of what it means to be an authentic leader has shifted. Every leader needs to build strategic relationships, hone agile skills, and be ready to successfully navigate the future. The business leader will need to look and move beyond prescriptive boundaries to drive success and growth through crisis moments and massive disruption across the globe.


Beyond Boundaries is beyond traditional leadership development and acknowledges the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and unique lived experiences of each participant. Our approach to the program is grounded in creating an environment where each participant can be seen, heard, encouraged to be curious and empowered to be brave in their interactions.


We saw TLN as a great place to provide that leadership development; while navigating the barriers to cracking the C-Suite glass ceiling and providing the skills, tools and tactics needed to reach their potential.


We are committed to transcending boundaries to foster an environment that values the unique experiences, identities, and perspectives of our students and faculty. In our pursuit of excellence, we recognize that the depth of diversity in thought and lived experiences is the cornerstone of preparing future leaders for the challenges of our interconnected global economy. As such, we strive to create a generation of intrepid visionaries and scholars who will go out into the world and impart their experiences to strengthen business and our broader community.


Business students can rely on the Ourso student support offices the moment they arrive on campus. Our teams of skilled advisors prepare business students to succeed academically and, ultimately, launch rewarding careers. Our support teams offer academic advising and counseling, career and professional development coaching, and experiential learning opportunities.


Case competitions are just one way students can learn from each other and present innovative solutions to organizational challenges. These events allow students to develop critical thinking skills that will support them as they enter an increasingly diverse labor market and empower them to address diversity issues in their workplace. The Ourso College invites all students to find their voices and express their unique views.


Collaborating with partners like the PhD Project and Shell allows us to harness the collective expertise and insights of industry professionals, creating a bridge between academia and real-world challenges. These strategic alliances empower our students and faculty to engage with cutting-edge research, innovative practices, and diverse networks of industry leaders, further enriching their educational experience. Together with our partners, we are shaping a business education that transcends conventional boundaries, preparing our community for the dynamic and interconnected landscape of the global economy.


Each semester, the Ourso College hosts discussions to support faculty and staff in their efforts to nurture belonging. Most recently, chief diversity officers from various industries shed light on what it means to lead efforts in their space. They shared their experiences, insights, and strategies for fostering inclusive environments and driving positive organizational change. Attendees gained valuable perspectives on cultivating a culture of belonging.
