With funding and partnership from the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement, the Brooks School has kickstarted its Cornell Engaged College initiative with the addition of Public Policy Engagement Coordinator Becky Warner, who joins postdoctoral fellow Megan Dias as part of the team overseen by Jamila Michener, Brooks School’s senior associate dean of public engagement and associate professor of government and public policy in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Brooks School.
“I’m grateful to the Einhorn Center for their willingness to invest in our public engagement capacity at Brooks. This will help to deepen our work with community partners, and I’m excited to work alongside Becky, Megan and our amazing students,” said Michener. “Engagement work is fundamental to how Brooks views a public policy education and also to our commitment to improving lives through public policy.”
The Brooks School became an Engaged College earlier this year under Michener’s direction. Partnering with the Einhorn Center through the Engaged College Initiative will institutionalize, strengthen, and expand Brooks’ ongoing engagement efforts by connecting the work being done in the policy school with the larger infrastructure of support that the Einhorn Center facilitates and amplifies through the Engaged College network.
