Gwendolyn Bookman is an attorney and she has worked in a variety of responsible positions in higher education administration for over forty years. In addition to her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree, Bookman completed post-graduate study at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University (MA) in international economics, law and politics. At Bennett, she is the Student Conduct Officer and an associate professor teaching law- and globally-focused courses.

Bookman regularly seeks professional development opportunities and she has been the recipient of several grants, including (1) a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute at Harvard University, summer 2017; (2) a UNCF/Mellon Faculty Seminar in Paris, France, summer 2016; and (3) a Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad in Morocco and Tunisia, summer 2011. Her summer seminars at New York University, Faculty Resource Network, generally focus on an international theme.

She has been involved in the Arusha (Tanzania) Sister Cities Committee in Durham (NC) since 2003 and she serves as the committee’s co-chair and as the immediate past president of the Board of Directors. In addition, she is the chair of the New Cities Committee of Sister Cities of Durham.
