Dr. Corr represents Arizona Western College at Hoover Institution Education Summit
January 30, 2025Yuma, AZ (January 30, 2025) – Arizona Western College President Dr. Daniel Corr recently attended the prestigious Hoover Institution Education Summit on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. The Summit brought together influential leaders from government, industry, philanthropy, and academia to reimagine the future of public K-12 education in the United States.
Hosted by the Hoover Institution on January 9-10 under the leadership of Director Dr. Condoleezza Rice, the event explored innovative strategies to enhance student outcomes. Central to the discussions were findings from the Education Futures Council, a national group of education innovators that convened in 2023. The Council’s report outlined a bold vision for transforming the education system, focusing on student-centered results, reducing top-down mandates, and fostering professional mastery among educators.
Dr. Corr actively participated in interactive sessions, including the “Education Futures Council Report” panel, which addressed the urgent need for systemic change in K-12 education, featuring panelists Jean-Claude Brizard (Digital Promise Global), Andrew Luck (Stanford Football), and Frances Messano (NewSchools Venture Fund). Keynote speakers for the event were Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Director of the Hoover Institution and former US Secretary of State.
Reflecting on his participation, Dr. Corr stated, “The Hoover Institution Education Summit provided an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with national leaders and explore practical solutions to improve public education. I am inspired by the innovative approaches discussed and look forward to applying these insights to benefit our students and communities.”
The Hoover Institution Education Summit provided a dynamic forum for fostering fact-based critical thinking and collaboration on the most pressing issues facing public education today.
