Join SU alumna Dr. Laura Marie Rivera for a Scholar Spotlight conversation on leadership, Motherhood, and the power of lived experience.
Laura Marie Rivera, Ed.D., is a Mother, artist, educator, and researcher whose work explores the intersection of Motherhood and leadership. She has spent more than two decades working across education, the arts, advocacy, and political strategy, and is a proud co-author of the international bestseller Beyond the Pipeline: Redefining Value, Success, and the Future of Women in STEMM—Together.
A distinctive aspect of her education is the commitment to forming the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—preparing students and parents for meaningful professional impact. Laura Marie’s research asks a bold question: what if we fully recognized the leadership skills developed outside of the paid workplace?
As the Mother of four children, she has experienced firsthand the high-stakes decision-making, resilience, advocacy, and long-term vision required to raise a family. Her research on Mother-Leader Intuitionship challenges traditional ideas of leadership theories by recognizing the profound capabilities cultivated through caregiving.
Light refreshments and a “fireside chat” format will allow us to learn from Laura Marie’s research and experience.
