As part of the admissions process, Dru connects with anyone who finds themselves interested in applying to the Master's in Leadership for Sustainability Program and Transdisciplinary, Creativity, and Leadership for Sustainability PhD program. In this and Dru's other work, she participates with others in processes of reflection and synthesis.  

Mostly in Vermont, Dru's partnered with grassroots collectives, non-profits, government agencies, policymakers, and philanthropy during times of planning or transitions to collaborate in surfacing and aligning efforts with what's moving. After working in state government and the non-profit sector for about a decade in the realm of performance management and improvement, and through her time in the MLS program, Dru's been practicing a question about disentangling  yearnings to feel change happening from the control-oriented frameworks of problem-solving, cause and effect thinking, and perfectionism that she's learned in bureaucratic and administrative systems. Dru also makes collage art and hosts workshops and gatherings in a big barn in northeast Vermont.
