Megan Griffard (Educational Psychology, Leadership, and Higher Education) has been invited to join the 2023 (EEPS) cohort, a program run by the American Enterprise Institute and Thomas B. Fordham Institute. The EEPS program "brings newly minted Ph.D. scholars and Ph.D. candidates who have a keen research eye, fresh ideas, and boundless (or budding) enthusiasm for education policy to our nation’s capital to meet with education-policy experts and to share and brainstorm exciting new directions for K–12 education research. The EEPS program seeks to counter the long-standing, well-documented divide between research and policy in education."
