“This year, more than ever, we are excited to welcome a talented group of fellows to participate in MEPF,” said Chad d’Entremont, Ph.D., executive director for the Rennie Center. “As our country grapples with the impact of the pandemic on student learning and wellbeing, the need for effective educational leadership and policymaking is clear. The 2022-23 MEPF fellows bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences to our program, and we look forward to working with them over the coming year to help fellows explore the state education policy context, identify opportunities for improving education through policy change, and build their networks in the education and policy communities.”
Brown joins MEPF as a veteran of both the Massachusetts public schools and Massachusetts public higher education system. As part of MEPF, he will interact with 32 other fellows working in a variety of roles, including teachers, school district administrators, researchers, nonprofit leaders, and state officials. “By the end of the program, fellows are in a strong position to move forward in their careers as education professionals and advance effective policy reform,” said d’Entremont.
