What makes Dr. Connolly’s approach unique?

Dr. Connolly brings 14 years of Ivy League leadership to this work. She advised thousands of undergraduate students in her role as Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She has seen firsthand how capable students can fall short because they lack effective and thoughtful preparation.

Dr. Connolly created these Student Programs in direct response to that experience. Each program provides a structured, supportive space to build the skills, habits, and confidence to make a lasting difference. These are tailored to the individual student, and built to connect today’s actions with tomorrow’s opportunities.

Inclusion in education

The Education Workspace is grounded in the belief that diverse perspectives strengthen learning and build community. We cultivate and support spaces where individuals of all backgrounds, races, cultures, identities, abilities, and orientations can thrive. Equity is important. We advance equitable practices, remove barriers to opportunity, and ensure that policies, programs, and environments reflect the diverse communities they serve.
