For 10 years the Knowledge Without Boundaries (KWB) Annual Academic Summit has provided a global platform for scholars to share their innovative best practices, conceptual pieces, and research tied to the academy and industry. In this Special Proceedings Edition, we’ve assembled the peer reviewed presentation abstracts from the 2023 KWB Summit, including the 2023 School of Doctoral Studies Dissertation of the Year winners and a special interview with the KWB Keynote Speaker Dr. Cheryl Lentz. This issue demonstrates the perseverance of many UOPX scholars, who exemplify the summit’s theme: “Thrive in a Brave New World.” A drive that continues to bring us all closer to ideas that add value to our career and make all of our contributions where we live, work, and play a little more meaningful.
