Hear from Past Participants

 

“This course had a tremendous impact on my confidence as a person and an advocate. My voice and experiences were validated, making it easier for me to finetune my approach to this transition from the classroom to a career in policy/advocacy. I’m forever grateful to [the coaches] for pouring into my preparation. This course set the foundation I needed to enter spaces where significant changes are taking place.”

LEE Member

“I really appreciated the content provided, and especially the one on one feedback provided by Mollie. I wish that I had more time and capacity to engage more deeply, but the sections I was able to fully utilize were extremely valuable. I also really appreciated the office hours! I will be returning to these resources again and again to continue to build my professional presence and networking skills– thank you!”

Facilitators

 

Stephanie recently joined LEE as the Associate, Group Coaching and Innovations. Before starting this newest role, Stephanie was at Rutgers University for nearly twenty years. At Rutgers, she worked with college students and higher education professionals on their career journeys. She also ran the Public Leadership Education Network’s chapter at Douglass Residential College, whose mission is to empower, educate, and engage women and LGBTQ+ groups in public policy. She received her Ed.M. in the social and philosophical foundations of education, and is finishing up an M.A. in educational theory, organization, and policy from Rutgers’ Graduate School of Education. Stephanie’s passion for educational equity comes from her own experiences growing up in Paterson, New Jersey and seeing her father fight for public school funding in the early 1990s. She lives in New Jersey with her dog Leia, and enjoys reading novels, binging the latest streaming shows, and sharing her love of pop culture.
