How the Institute Came to Be

Erica Rowland: I'm really passionate about teaching more so coaching and what does that look like? Not only in a classroom. Also moving students do dissertation phase, those kind of things. It was an opportunity just really to sit with other folks to really think about how do we do this work because we don't often get this face to do that. Michael Williams: He is an assistant professor at the University of Missouri in their Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis. A lot of his work focuses on mentorship, socialization.
