The Elizabeth D. Rockwell Center on Ethics and Leadership at the Hobby School of Public Affairs is collaborating with The OpEd Project to help elevate the diverse viewpoints of University of Houston faculty members beyond campus. Nearly two dozen UH participants from various disciplines will join a national network of their peers, gain access to mentors and emerge from a daylong workshop with an op-ed outline and the skills and resources to shape the critical conversations of the day. The interactive training, intended to empower underrepresented experts to share their knowledge and research with the community, was hosted by award-winning journalist and CQ Roll Call columnist Mary Curtis. The workshop on Feb. 6, 2023, is the first part of a longer collaboration among the participants, The OpEd Project and the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Center. Participants will have ongoing access to resources, events and mentors.
