We are deeply saddened to share the news that Dr. Janice Ellen Jackson, trustee of TERC, passed away on March 3, 2025. Janice was one of our longest-serving and most dedicated advocates, and her contributions to TERC and the broader educational community have been invaluable.
Christine Reich, PhD will join TERC as its president on July 1, 2025. A distinguished educator, social science researcher, and former museum executive, Reich brings a deep commitment to advancing STEM education opportunities for all learners.
TERC’s highly regarded president, Laurie Brennan, will retire in June 2025. During her tenure, TERC has made significant strides in advancing STEM education for all learners.
