Alumni Council Award Winner

Each year, the Alumni Council selects one HGSE alumna/us to honor with the Alumni Council Award for Outstanding Contribution to Education. In order to recognize the significance of service to education by the many alumni of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Council created the annual recognition award to provide tribute to such service. The Alumni Council is proud to recognize John Merrow, Ed.D.'73 as this year's award recipient. Merrow is president of Learning Matters, the nonprofit organization he founded in 1995, which produces The Merrow Report, a series of one-hour documentaries for PBS and a radio program on NPR. The award was presented in Cambridge at the precommencement ceremony on Wednesday, June 7.
