Director of Advancement
Irvine, Calif. — Gregory
Nicholson has been hired as
Project Tomorrow’s new Director of
Advancement. This is a new position at the national education nonprofit organization. In this role, Nicholson will
be responsible for securing the resources to help Project
Tomorrow achieve its mission through fund as well as partnership
development.
“Greg is a wonderful addition to our team at an exciting
time of growth for our organization,” said Julie Evans, CEO of Project
Tomorrow. “So much of our work is based on relationships and collaborations
with schools, businesses, foundations and organizations across the country. We
look forward to the new partnerships he will help cultivate as we continue our
work as a leading STEM education and information source.”
Previously, Nicholson was Assistant Director at the Cotsen

for the recruitment of districts, schools, and teachers into the ART of
TEACHING program, as well as communications and partnerships. In that role, he co-founded the Mathematics
Leadership Corps, an education reform collaborative in Southern California to
promote improved teaching and learning in mathematics throughout the Culver
City school district.
“During my career, I have worked on both the foundation and
nonprofit sides and have developed many successful collaborations in the
education community,” said Nicholson. “I am thrilled to be joining an
organization with such a successful track record, and I look forward to bringing
my experience to support the mission of Project Tomorrow. Project Tomorrow
understands that communities are more powerful when they work together to
advance teaching and learning – and that such collaboration is essential to
achieving our society’s goals for STEM education.”
Nicholson holds a doctorate in English Literature from
Michigan State University, where he was a University Distinguished Fellow and
the author of the university’s decennial re-accreditation report. Prior to
graduate school he worked in non-profit management in social services and
