The Department of Educational Leadership

01/27/2020

A Doctoral Student in the Department of Educational Leadership has been selected as an Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education Research Fellow for spring semester 2020.

Erinn Guzik, who expects to complete the Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership in 2021, has been selected for the Research Fellowship.

“We are thrilled to hear of Erinn’s fellowship,” said Dan Lee, Erinn’s faculty advisor in the Department of Educational Leadership. “Erinn is bright, highly motivated, and she has a great work ethic. In the short term, Erinn has enrolled in EDLD 625 Quantitative Research in the upcoming spring semester and I have no doubt that she will be able to successfully meld this coursework with her OCHE Research Fellows project. In the long term, I hope that her OCHE Research Fellows work will become the basis for her doctoral dissertation.”

Our very own Associate Professor and Director of UM Safe Schools Center, Dr. Dan Lee, received a $1M Grant that will lead a statewide effort to improve school safety.
“Safety is a broad field encompassing many different components,” said Dr. Dan Lee, director of UMSCC. “It is a complex, multidimensional issue. It’s a field that is growing in notoriety and needs to be approached with a dynamic set of solutions. This grant allows aspiring education professionals to be actively engaged in developing safety solutions for rural communities and generates cross-sectional collaborations.” Read the full story below.
