“From the professors to the practices to the prolific discussions, the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies (ELPS) pathway is transformational. Because ELPS welcomes curiosity, embraces complexity and ignites purpose, I am a catalyst for change as an equity researcher, storyteller and legacy builder.”

Vice Chancellor for Strategic Marketing & Communications, University of Illinois-Chicago
