Kenric Tsethlikai, Managing Director of the Lauder Institute, Shares the Importance of His Native Heritage
As Managing Director of the Lauder Institute, Kenric Tsethlikai is instrumental in ensuring the success of its numerous donor-funded programs. Like many Lauder students, he’s also a well-traveled polyglot who lived and worked abroad for several years. In this brief history of his career, Tsethlikai shares how his roots in the Zuni tribe — and his upbringing in the Zuni Pueblo — prepared him to thrive in his role at the Institute, where cross-cultural understanding is key.
