Texas Southern University Launches New Fellowship Program for Educational Policy Development

Texas Southern University, a historically Black institution in Houston, has recently launched the Education Leadership Fellowship program. Established by the board of regents to cultivate the next generation of educational leaders, the fellowship will provide recent college graduates with the opportunity to engage in policy development and strategic initiatives at Texas Southern University. As part of their fellowship, participants will assist the HBCU with special projects and conduct research on emerging issues in education policy. “Our board of regents is laser-focused on delivering education that meets the needs of students and employers, so that our graduates may flourish in the thriving Texas economy,” said Brandon Simmons, chairman of the board of egents. “In establishing this program, we are seeking to hire recent degree recipients who share our passion for an outcomes-based approach to higher education. For graduates interested in careers in education law and policy in an era of innovation and reform, we hope this program will provide the invaluable experience gained while assisting the university with key initiatives that benefit student outcomes.” The post Texas Southern University Launches New Fellowship Program for Educational Policy Development appeared first on The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education.
