ABOUT THOMAS F. CONNOLLY

I have lived and worked in the United States, the Czech Republic, and Saudi Arabia. It has been a thrilling journey across three continents: living diversity, sharing my expertise, and collaborating with communities, corporations, governments, and universities. I have trained and taught professionals and students at every level. I have written books, and articles, and I rewrote the manual for audit report writing for the Massachusetts State Auditor. I also edited the budget narratives for the Massachusetts state budget. For my “educational service to the nation”, I was awarded the Parliamentary Medal of the Czech Republic. As an expert speaker, I have been a regular commentator for public radio and television, given talks, sponsored by the United States Information Agency, and featured on podcasts. The New York Times, CBS, the BBC, and The New Yorker have consulted me. I have won three Fulbrights, and been awarded grants from UNESCO, the USA, the Czech Republic, and Saudi Arabia. I have been a keynote speaker, and advisor for QS World University Rankings and am an International adjudicator for the QS Reimagine Education Awards. I’m also an International nominator for the VinFuture Prize; an International Research Fellow of INTI University Malaysia; and a Senior Fellow of the PMU Center for Futuristic Studies.
