Biography

Dr. Stephanie Calley's vocation is to cultivate and empower global leaders by curating resources and opportunities for them to engage in transformative, intercultural learning. God’s calling for her to engage in cultivating global leaders was forged in many foundational experiences such as growing up in a multicultural neighborhood in Long Beach, serving on a church planting team in post-genocide Kosovo and engaging in friendship building with Turkish Muslims in Orange County. Building on that foundation, for the past 15 years she has been engaged in multiple roles with international higher education, focused on building programs and training Global Students. As such, her dissertation was focused on the impact of co-curricular leadership programs on Global Students. She is also a Qualified Administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory, a cognitive measurement used to assist people in understanding how to navigate intercultural differences.
