Meet Alyssa Briggs: a champion of educational equity through technology and STEM innovation. After witnessing the transformative power of education during 15 years as a professor at an open-access university, plus years leading STEM initiatives and winning national journalism awards, she’s embarking on her next chapter.

She’s returning to lead NeoSTEM while working with a team launching an ed-tech venture. She is bringing her unique perspective on how technology and education can level the playing field. Her experience ranges from growing the STEM Learning Ecosystems into a global initiative to pioneering public-private partnerships at Youngstown State.

With degrees from Northwestern, Youngstown State, and a Ph.D. in interdisciplinary studies, she splits time between Cleveland and Northern Michigan with her husband Rob, embracing seasonal sports (while avoiding ER visits!). A proud mom of two and grandmother of one, she brings both academic expertise and real-world savvy to her mission of making quality education accessible to all.
