In a free public lecture sponsored by the Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication, Jennifer Stapper will discuss her role in spreading the U.N.’s good work across the globe. She promotes her organization’s sustainable work and peacemaking efforts with a message that reaches more than 125 countries and includes around 6,500 U.N. volunteers in the field, and another 11,000 as online volunteers. Keeping a focused mission among hundreds of diverse cultures is a challenge in itself, working with equally complicated hardships like wars, refugee crises, economic difficulties and famine creates unique communications obstacles for Stapper and her team. She will discuss her role in telling the volunteer story and raising awareness of the importance of volunteers to U.N. goals.
