Reflections on Encounters with Three Cultures

Carnegie Corporation President Vartan Gregorian reflects on his experiences leading Brown University, the New York Public Library and Carnegie Corporation of New York. Each institution, writes Gregorian, is representative of a different nonprofit culture, each with a different structure, different history, and different dynamics. While serving these institutions, he writes, he has been both an observer and a participant, a spectator and an actor, a reader and a lender, a receiver and a giver and every step of the way has made for an exhilarating and inspiring journey.
