Featuring United States Senator Elizabeth Warren
and
The First Gurel Symposium on Education
NEXT GEN LEARNING: Opportunities for urban education in the new federal law
Monday, March 14th, 10:00 am to 12 noon
Atwood Hall, Clark University
Clark University welcomes United States Senator Elizabeth Warren for the sixth annual Gurel Lecture. As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Senator Warren played an influential role in the passage of the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act. Senator Warren will outline her views on this new legislation and federal education policy.
Senator Warren’s keynote remarks will be followed by a panel of leading education experts. Panelists will share perspectives on the range of skills students will need to thrive in the future, and their views on how the new federal law positions urban communities to provide the deeper learning experiences—in the classroom and beyond—that their students will need to gain a full complement of these 21st century skills.

- Nick Donohue, President and CEO, Nellie Mae Education Foundation
- Dr. Ronald Ferguson, Kennedy School of Government and Director of the Achievement Gap Initiative at Harvard University
