Three faculty members from the College of Education were named OpEd Project Public Voices Fellows by the Office of the Provost.
Rochelle Gutierrez, professor Curriculum & Instruction, Jon Hale, professor Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, and Mirelsie Velázquez associate professor Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, were all selected to be fellows.
The Public Voices Fellowship is a year-long program that provides a cohort of 20 thought leaders with extraordinary support, leadership skills, and knowledge to improve representation in the field, ensuring their ideas shape not only their fields but also the broader public conversations of our age.
Faculty members in this cohort will attend four sessions during the 2026-27 academic year and will be paired with a journalism mentor who provides one-on-one editing and coaching. Fellows will publish two or more op-ed pieces during the program.
