Professional Biography

Mollie Galloway, Ph.D., came to Lewis & Clark in 2006, as Director of Research and Assessment for the graduate school. As a researcher, Mollie’s interests center on conducting collaborative and applied research with schools, communities, and educational organizations to cultivate equitable leadership practice and maximize student learning, empowerment and well-being. Before moving to Portland, she was a Research Associate for the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University and Director of Research for SOS: Stressed-Out Students (now Challenge Success), a Stanford University intervention designed to improve adolescent health, engagement, and academic integrity. Through this work Mollie teamed with middle schools and high schools to gather, analyze, and disseminate data to help schools make appropriate and targeted practice and policy changes at their school sites.

Current Projects

In concert with the Lewis & Clark doctoral program’s focus on social justice and social action, Mollie’s current work includes collaborative efforts with local schools and educational organizations to address issues of equity in P-12 schools. Mollie is leading a research initiative through the Oregon Leadership Network to refine and validate a tool to support educational leaders and organizations in developing their practice for equity.
