Allie Van Buskirk
Community Studies Instructor, INVST | Leadership Studies Minor Instructor • Puksta Scholars Program Coordinator
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Engage | School of Education

Allie is a long-time INVST supporter and couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of such a dynamite instructor team. She is currently instructing for LEAD 1000 and INVS 3932 and brings a unique skill set to this role: a wealth of non-profit management, fundraising, and group facilitation experience combined with years of personal mindfulness practice and a Masters Degree in Contemplative Education from Naropa University. She is passionate about supporting community leaders and activists in developing a sense of self and well being that will truly enable a lifetime commitment to compassionate action. When she isn’t teaching, Allie can be found exploring ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s beautiful trails with her dog Sunny, making herbal medicines, experimenting with cooking, leading women’s groups, teaching yoga or traveling the world.
