Prior to this, he served as director of admission at Choate Rosemary Hall for three years and associate director of undergraduate admission and co-director of multicultural recruitment at Yale University for eight years. In every professional role he’s occupied, he has been a strong advocate for underrepresented students, especially those of first-gen and/or extremely modest socio-economic backgrounds. As an FGLI student and member of the “privileged poor,” he had the opportunity to attend an independent boarding school and small liberal arts college as an Albert G. Oliver Scholar. He went on to complete his undergraduate education at Wesleyan, where he was a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow, studied abroad in Egypt, and earned his bachelor’s degree in history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb41b5865a707045e2811eb/93a122b0-abb0-4fef-a31f-110067babf25/Ruiz_April_Wesleyan_square.jpg FGLI Events - Aligning and Partnering with Admission Colleagues post-SCOTUS (4 pm EST / 3 pm CST) - April Ruiz April Ruiz is currently Dean for Academic Equity, Inclusion, & Success and interim Vice President for Equity & Inclusion at Wesleyan University. Prior to this, she held other dean roles at Williams College and Yale University, all of which allowed her to serve and center FGLI students.

She holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of St Andrews and a BA in Cognitive Science from Yale University. April is also a member of the Executive Committee for the FGLI Consortium. https://www.fgliconsortium.org/events/august2023fgliconsortiumwebinar monthly 0.5 2023-07-31

Psychology and Associate Professor of Human Development and Social Policy at Northwestern University Author of forthcoming publication in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology: "From deficit to benefit: Highlighting lower-SES students' background-specific strengths increases their academic persistence" Social psychologist Mesmin Destin studies how socioeconomic circumstances influence individual thoughts, identities, and behaviors. Building upon theories of identity and motivation, his research investigates social and psychological factors that contribute to disparities in educational outcomes from middle school through early adulthood. He employs a combination of secondary data analysis, laboratory experiments, and field experiments to uncover effective strategies and supports that guide young people’s perceptions of self, society, and opportunities as they navigate inequality and pursue goals. Destin’s research has been funded by organizations including the National Science Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, and the William T. Grant Foundation. He contributed to a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine titled, “The Promise of Adolescence: Realizing Opportunity for All Youth”, and he has received awards including the American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bb41b5865a707045e2811eb/de3c2b5b-6d71-4093-8aee-63cca100f821/JenniferMorton.jpg '22 Keynote Speakers & Presenters - Jennifer M.

Prior to joining the Dean's Office, she taught in the Writing Program at Haverford for many years, and also held a similar appointment in the Haverford-Bryn Mawr Education Program. Barbara grew up in rural Maryland but has has lived in Philadelphia now for over 25 years. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a BA in Philosophy, and later earned an MS.

Outside of work, Barbara enjoys hanging out with her wife and kids, watching quirky comedies and addictive tv dramas, cooking, reading, writing, and travel.

Grant Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University, and now an Assistant Professor and William Dawson Scholar at McGill University, Dr. Régine Debrosse has been conducting research on this question both in Canada and in the United States.
