New nominations in The Globalization Institute

In January, the Globalization Institute team expanded by three new managers with rich experience in think-tank operations: Tanja Štumberger, Glenn E. Cripe, and Jacek Spendel.

Tanja Štumberger and Glenn E. Cripe joined the GI’s scientific board, while Jacek Spendel is responsible for managing Institute’s projects, organization of conferences, debates, and Globalization Institute’s Breakfasts.

Tanja Štumberger is both research associate and manager of external relations at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. In addition, Štumberger is executive director of the Liberty Seminars in Slovenia, her native country. Štumberger is also actively involved with The Fund for American Studies, serving on the alumni council as the only international member. As an undergraduate, Štumberger studied Applied Economics at both the University of Maribor and the Vrije Universiteit in Brussels. She continued her education with graduate studies in American Political Science at both the University of Ljubljana and Georgetown University.

Glenn E. Cripe is the founder and executive director of the Language of Liberty Institute (www.languageofliberty.org), an American NGO whose mission is to bring the tools of freedom to students in developing countries. Their primary activity is organizing week-long summer camps where students practice English conversation with native speakers, explore classical liberal philosophy and economics, and learn how to apply the principles in daily life.

Jacek Spendel graduated in sociology at the University of Silesia. Jacek was president of the KoLiber Association. In fall 2009 he studied at the Georgetown University and served as an intern for the Eastman Kodak Company. Earlier, Jacek worked for Institute for Free Enterprise based in Berlin. He was main organizer of the Liberty English Camps in Poland in 2008 and 2009.
