Moments of celebration and reflection from the final week of SEGL in Joburg Spring ’23. After some teary goodbyes to the ALA community as we boarded the bus, there was no better way to end the semester than one final chant!

Faculty Friday: Meet Keith!

Campus: Joburg
Position: Director of Logistics
Classes: Ethics & Leadership and English
Started SEGL: August 2021
Favorite ALA meal: Lamb and Chapati!

Keith received his BA from Wesleyan University, where he majored in Politics and Economics with a minor in African Studies, and received his MsC in Migration Studies from Oxford University. He joined the Joburg team through the SEGL network — a close friend connected him to the Joburg program, and a Facebook message later, he now works with her! Keith’s favorite thing about SEGL is the gratitudes shared in School Meeting, and his favorite SEGL moment was meeting the parent of a DC Fall 2009 graduate at an ALA alumni event. The English teacher in him shines during his favorite SEGL tradition — credos! When students present their capstone project to the full community in the waning days of each semester, Keith loves hearing them reflect on their journeys and the inspiring growth they have nurtured. Reflecting on his own journey at SEGL, Keith says, “I am an ALA alum so coming back to the place where my own journey began and interacting with students currently beginning their own has been enriching and exciting in the best way possible. Interacting with young people from all over the world who are passionate and resilient in the face of challenges gives me hope for the brighter future of the world!”
