Shawn Bohen, Year-Up Shawn Bohen - Year-Up Shawn Jacqueline Bohen has made a career of creating, building, growing, and strategically realigning mission-driven organizations. Bohen is deeply interested in figuring out how human beings can overcome differences in cultures, belief systems, geographies, languages, and economic realities to tackle the most challenging and interesting questions our global society faces - the social, political, economic, environmental dilemmas, which fall between the cracks of our existing knowledge, institutional structures, and sectors. Bohen most recently served as Assistant Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity at Harvard University co-leading the institution's approach to finding, hiring, developing, promoting and retaining a diverse, world-class faculty.

Bohen holds an MBA from Babson and a BA in Theatre Arts and English from the University of Minnesota. Bohen's embrace of living and working as a fully integrated person has sustained her journey through political organization, theatre, and academic management. She is the mother of two children.
