Ilan Berkman

Now completing his Master of Education degree at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Ilan is an Associate Producer at NBCUniversal’s Peacock. A former Great Books camper, he returned for several summers as both a lead program assistant and a program assistant. Ilan began his career as a classroom teacher in Spain and Massachusetts and is a graduate of Vassar College.

Reflecting on his summers with Great Books, Ilan notes, “GBSP taught me to love literature as a communal project; it helped me see the magic in shared inquiry, debate, and discussion.”

The storytelling and communication skills he gained at Great Books, he says, have helped him at every stage of his journey — from teaching abroad to working in the entertainment industry.
