Empathy — the ability to understand and share the feelings of another — is a powerful subject for leaders according to recent Master of Organizational Leadership graduate Virginia “Ginny” Harriger ’24 M.S.

"I am so task driven that sometimes I forget that as a leader you have to bring other people in,” she said. “With this project, I was helping the organization, and I was learning from it. I got away from trying to do everything myself and became a different type of leader.”

Harriger is the executive director of the Greater Chambersburg Chamber Foundation and volunteers with her church's Diaper Depot ministry, which offers free diapers to qualifying area residents each month.
