Eric Roland
Phillips Academy Director of Partnerships
Andover, MA
Student learning is the most important priority at Phillips Academy, and the Tang Institute exists to support it. We fund faculty fellowships—often in interdisciplinary teams—to learn about and engage with central questions in education today. We also connect our learning with other educational leaders, sharing and growing our best ideas with local and global communities. The opportunities we are creating for students are interdisciplinary in nature and help the Academy grow in relation to the priorities of the 2014 Strategic Plan: Equity & Inclusion; Creativity & Innovation; and Empathy & Balance.
