Episcopal News Service. July 11, 2008 [071108-04]
Nevin C. Brown will step down as president of the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership (IPSL), based at the Episcopal Church Center in New York City, to become director of the post-secondary initiative at Achieve Inc., a Washington D.C.-based education policy organization.
Brown has been an active member of the Episcopal Church Center community and in his parish, St. Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church, on the Upper West Side. He currently serves on the boards of the Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion (CUAC), Association of Episcopal Colleges (AEC), Friends of Cuttington University, and the Bible and Common Prayer Book Society.
He previously served as the dean of Academic Programs for IPSL. He holds a M.A. in American History from the University of Virginia (Minor Field: Early Modern European History) and a B.A. in History from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Prior to joining IPSL, Brown was a program analyst officer for the District of Columbia Public Schools; principal partner with the Education Trust and the American Association for Higher Education; and assistant director for Urban Affairs, National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.
Effective July 15, Peter Criswell will serve as interim president while the IPSL board conducts the search and selection process which will result in the appointment of a new president.
IPSL programs integrate academic studies with volunteer service and full cultural immersion to give students a deeper, more meaningful study abroad experience.
