Scholars Practitioners
Enhance your practice of community engagement. The Scholars Practitioners program at Saybrook provides opportunity for professional development through insightful, challenging presentations and workshops.
Saybrook University was founded by scholars who were also therapists and activists and leaders. They left us a legacy that an education can be measured both by what you learn and by what you do.
This idea of service - to one’s community, profession, and the world - is at Saybrook’s core. Our programs are designed to qualify you to be a pioneer on the intellectual frontier, as well as a courageous practitioner dedicated to the greater good. Our faculty and graduates engage with pressing problems:
- Providing organizational leadership
- Revitalizing communities
- Transforming health care
- Developing sustainable practices
- Nurturing cross-cultural understanding
- Counseling and caring for populations in need
- Scholar activism and social change
You can’t do these things from an ivory tower. You have to connect the library and the street. That’s what scholar-practitioners do, and that’s what you learn at Saybrook.
In 2012, Saybrook President Mark Schulman decided to add a new tradition, creating Saybrook’s “Scholar-Practitioner in Residence” program.
Saybrook’s first Scholar-Practitioner in Residence will be Chip Conley, who took the humanistic psychology of Abraham Maslow (one of Saybrook’s founders) and used it to develop a better business model for humane and socially conscious entrepreneurs.
At a time when business practices desperately need to change, Saybrook could think of few greater achievements than the work Conley does, and we are proud to work closely with him in 2012.
As his first activity, Conley will provide the keynote address, “Why a CEO Turned to Maslow and Frankl in his Time of Need," at the residential conferences for the College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies and the College of Mind-Body Medicine in San Francisco on January 14, 2012.
