Connie De Jong serves as the Executive Director for Global Gallery, a local Fair Trade organization that grew from near-closure to four locations in the past 6 years under her leadership. De Jong is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Cultural Policy and Arts Administration at The Ohio State University as well as working full-time as the Arts Scholars Coordinator for undergraduate students at OSU. Each of these pursuits is unusual in her cultural context and stem from an innate desire to connect people of diverse backgrounds because of connections with people where she has lived, studied, worked or visited around the world, including the USA, Australia, Germany, India, Nepal, Tibet, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Cuba, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, and Brazil. De Jong holds an undergraduate degree in ethnomusicology from Lake Forest College and an MA in Comparative Studies from The Ohio State University.
