The faculty at The Rivers School is always looking for new and better ways of doing things by exploring different avenues of professional development. Interdisciplinary Studies Department Chair Julian Willard will be looking to further one of the school’s most innovative programs through his appointment as a Future of Learning Fellow at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education this summer.
This appointment comes on the heels of a yearlong fellowship at Yale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics where he was a visiting scholar at The Hastings Center, the preeminent center for bioethics research.
