Texas Wesleyan University is proud to announce that Dr. Priscila Dilley, Senior Officer at the Leadership Academy Network, has been selected to join the highly regarded Pahara Fellowship class of 2025. This prestigious fellowship recognizes exceptional leaders in the field of public education and serves as a platform for these leaders to deepen their impact on educational excellence and equity.

The Pahara Fellowship is a one-year, cohort-based program that brings together a group of influential leaders committed to transforming public education. Fellows are selected through a rigorous application and interview process, and Dr. Dilley’s inclusion in this cohort speaks to her outstanding contributions to the field of education and her unwavering dedication to advancing opportunities for all students.

As part of the fellowship, Dr. Dilley will collaborate with other leading figures in the educational sector, engaging in deep reflection, strategic development and innovative thinking to address the complex challenges facing public education today. The fellowship offers a rare opportunity for leaders to pause from their day-to-day work and reflect on their leadership journey, while also building connections that will accelerate their efforts to create high-quality learning opportunities for students across the nation.

The Pahara Institute’s mission is to strengthen the movement for educational excellence by developing and sustaining values-driven leaders. This year’s cohort includes educators, innovators and changemakers from various sectors within the education space, all of whom are united in their commitment to improving the lives of children in low-income communities.
