Burrows will use fellowship funding to expand her research on an initiative to build partnerships between secondary teachers and colleagues in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) professions. Burrows also will establish two UW Partnership Building Symposia, forums for building community between school district personnel and university faculty. Burrows joined the UW faculty in 2011. She holds a doctor of education degree in curriculum and instruction-science from the University of Cincinnati.
“I am honored and excited to receive the Mary Garland Fellowship,” Burrows says. “I look forward to promoting STEM partnership work at UW and throughout the state.”
