Amidst a pivotal moment for student learning and recovery, we’re proud to announce the 49 rising leaders who join the 2021-2022 EP Impact Fellowship — one of our signature programs. This cohort of 49 is more than twice the size of last year’s cohort — growth that exceeded even our own expectations, and a proof point that project managers, analysts, and other implementation specialists are needed now more than ever. Together, our new Fellows will provide capacity to 38 education organizations that serve 2.5M+ students nationwide. Read on to learn more about our cohort, and to see the full list of Impact Fellows! #WeAreEP
