Meet our New Executive Director: Henry Brick

"Hello! My name is Henry Brick, and I am ecstatic to start my term as the new Executive Director of People for PSEO.

 

I am a former PSEO student and a current undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota studying Political Science and Economics. I have an extensive background in PSEO policy research, legislative advocacy, and youth organizing through my concurrent work as a Changemaker with Catalyst for Systems Change.

 

Some of my reasons for accepting the Executive Director position root in my deep belief in the Post-Secondary Enrollment institution. At a foundational level, this program provides pathways to the less fortunate to access a higher level of education at a possible cost, whether that be poor, misunderstood, or disenfranchised students.

 

At its inception, People for PSEO has been dedicated to expanding and protecting such a virtuous program, and for those reasons, I am happy to work for them as the new Executive Director of PPSEO.

 

Together, let’s build our better future, Brick by Brick."
