Anne Mosle | August 17, 2022 | Ascend Fellowship, Media Mentions

In a recent article on EdSurge.com, Ascend executive director and founder Anne Mosle discusses the tighter focus of the 2022 Ascend Fellowship class. The piece also includes profiles of four of our new Ascend Fellows — Blythe Keeler Robinson, Mary Alice Cohen, Tonja Rucker, and Deana Around Him.

“We’re tightening our focus and shining an extremely bright light on families and children at their earliest years—really the prenatal to age 3 space.” – Anne Mosle
