| Coordinator for Projects EXCITE |
Kourtney Cockrell is a native Evanstonian and is passionate about diversity work and education. Since graduating from the University of Michigan, she has spent her professional career working in the nonprofit sector and in higher education. Most recently, Cockrell managed the national career and alumni initiative at the Posse Foundation in New York City. As the coordinator for Project EXCITE, Cockrell works closely with the local Evanston community, the staff at CTD and the Evanston Public School Districts 65 and 202 to manage outreach programs and activities aimed at closing the achievement gap. What she loves most about Project EXCITE is the early outreach to kids in the third grade. She says that “as an Alumna of District 65 and 202, I intimately understand the challenges involved with the achievement gap and feel like EXCITE has developed a program that is really making an impact.”
