Each spring, we welcome student interns for a hands-on experience during the Tennessee General Assembly session. This year, Noelle Porterfield, a rising senior at Belmont University, and Ella Muncy, a graduate of UT Knoxville and SOAS London, made a lasting impact on our team.

We’re proud to be a sponsor of the @EdCommission 2026 National Forum on Education Policy! Join us on July 10 for our presentation, “Identifying the Human Advantage in an AI-Driven Workforce,” with speakers Mary Call-Blanusa, our Director of Public Policy and Partnerships; Robert Denn, Associate Vice Chancellor of @CollegeSystemTN; Jose Ortega-Luo, Director of Workforce Partnerships at @CollegeBoard; and Justin Woodson, Representative in the Hawai’i State Legislature. They will discuss how education stakeholders, alongside state leaders from Hawai’i and Tennessee, are advancing policy solutions that move durable skills from aspirational graduate profiles into core academic instruction and career and technical education (CTE). We hope to see you there!
