I’m Dr. Sabba Quidwai, a passionate educator and problem-solver. My career journey began amidst the 2007 recession, a time of intense change in the professional world. That experience fueled my commitment to preparing students and professionals for a future that’s vibrant and secure. From my early days as a high school science teacher to my roles as an Education Leadership Executive at Apple and Director of Innovative Learning at USC, I’ve made it my mission to help others discover the power of technology to solve problems and open doors to new opportunities.

Nicholas J. Cull Ph.D is a historian and professor in the Master's in Public Diplomacy program at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California. He was the founding director of this program and ran it from 2005 to 2019. Cull earned both his B.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Leeds. As a graduate, he studied at Princeton University as a Harkness Fellow of the Commonwealth Fund of New York. Cull's research and teaching interests are broad and inter-disciplinary, and focus on public diplomacy, the role of advocacy, culture, exchange, broadcasting, and public opinion research in foreign policy. Cull has also worked more broadly on the history of propaganda, film, television and radio history and the role of mass media as a source for historical study. He is best known for detailed historical studies of the institutions behind public diplomacy and for emphasizing the importance of "listening" as a pre-condition for successful public diplomacy. He coined the term reputational security for a category of enhanced security that comes to an international actor when they are well thought of by external audiences.
