“As a visiting lecturer Leesa brings out the most and the best in students. She makes them use their resources and innovates ideas and methods. She is very highly qualified and experienced which gives her a mine of information for our International students. Can't recommend any one so well!” November 7, 2008
Top qualities: Expert, High Integrity, Creative
Hilary Walker, Dean Mod'Art International hired Leesa as a Associate Professor in 2007, and hired Leesa more than once
“Leesa arranged and supervised two business projects for Masters in Management students at the LSE with a corporate reputation consultancy and global bank. She arranged an excellent programme and coached the students to produce very good results. Feedback from the students on Leesa's role in their learning experience was very positive.” May 20, 2011
“Leesa is not only a colleague but also a friend. Having worked closely with Leesa on different projects, I know that she will be a valuable asset to any company or school. Not only is she very organised but she also uses a lot of psychology with her students and has helped many of them to find internships. In other words, she takes a real interest in her work and therefore it is without any hesitation whatsoever that I recommend Leesa.” November 10, 2008
“Leesa Fogarty is a professional of the highest caliber. From the most cursory of encounters with her, Ms. Fogarty's reflexive intelligence, motivation, and verve will be clearly discernible. It is a genuine pleasure to be associated with any project that she undertakes and I cannot recommend her strongly enough.” August 25, 2004
“Leesa Fogarty has been my professor in MOD'ART INTERNATIONAL in a MBA program in Fashion industry and luxury goods. She taught me Reputation Management and Digital communication. Leesa has the ability to take the attention of her audience because she brings updated and modern ideas and she talks to the students as professionals and not only as students. She is definitely excellent in communication and social networking, I have learnt a lot of things thanks to her.” May 22, 2011
Top qualities: Personable, Expert, Creative
“Leesa is a very responsible and capable colleague to work with. She directs me to the right track on my work and she shares with me her personal working experience. At the same time, she leaves me space to finish my work and when I finished my work well, she shows me her strong appreciation to my accomplishment and encourages me to do even better next time. She is professional and I learned a lot from her. It is enjoyable to work with her.” May 20, 2011
“9 am classes have never been my favourite, but Leesa quickly captured the attention of the entire class. She's an excellent professor because she stays at the forefront of her industry. She leads by example: education doesn't stop - she's always reinventing the message. She challenges students to think outside the box, to harness emerging technologies, and finds ways to put learned knowledge into action. Leesa challenged our class to find better ways to collaborate, to stay connected even when not in class. And, even better, she strived to find opportunities for us; internships, assisting her on photo shoots for her own brand - LeesaLu, helping us find job opportunities...and more. Her office door doesn't close. Her lecturing materials are as up-to-date as you can get, always based on historical events and current affairs. If I had to summarize her style in one word, it would be "passionate". Some professors feel that students are privileged to learn. Leesa sees it as more of a mutual benefit: she's privileged to teach and share her extensive knowledge and she's very appreciative of students willing to learn and push themselves to new levels. You can't ask for more. She's one of those professors that students will always want to, and do well to keep in touch with. Thank you Leesa!” November 6, 2008
“Leesa was our Marketing Communications professor in the Master 2 - Economy and Management specialised in Luxury Goods and Fashion Industries at Mod'Art International University in 2007. Her classes are very interactive and easy-to-follow, with constant link and examples from the market that we can easily relate to and understand. The group projects gave us the ability to put in practice what was learned in class and to better understand topics such as Public Relations, Negotiation, Damage Control, Ethics and Sponsorships. She also helped students with connections to jobs and stages in the field. A must-have professor for any Marketing and Management course, specially for courses related to Fashion and Luxury Goods.” November 9, 2008
“Luxury Advertising has no secret for us anymore thanks to Leesa.
Such a pleasure to go to class with a teacher who knows how to open your mind !” November 14, 2008
“Leesa is an inspiring teacher and an amazing, smart person. It is always very effective, productive and pleasant to work with her. I will recommend her without any doubt and will be honoured and happy to have the occasion to collaborate with her. Full of energy, with great people skills and communication talent, she will be an asset for every international project.” October 20, 2008
