Hello everyone,
More change is coming to the Wikipedia Education Program team. LiAnna Davis
has let me know she will be leaving the Wikimedia Foundation. LiAnna has
directed our team's communications since I hired her for the pilot program
in the United States back in June 2010. Her last day will be March 14.
While we'll miss LiAnna at the Wikimedia Foundation, she'll continue to be
involved in the Wikipedia Education Program in the U.S. and Canada. She's
joining Frank Schulenburg and Jami Mathewson at the Wiki Education
Foundation, where she's excited about helping the U.S. program achieve the
potential we all saw in it when we started it back in 2010.
Over the next several week, I will be working with the team to reorganize
the many tasks that LiAnna currently does for the program. We'll be
reaching out to and meeting with various program leaders worldwide. We will
keep you posted about the Wikipedia Education Program team. As you can see,
there is a lot happening, so stay tuned for more information.
Please join me in thanking LiAnna for all her hard work for the Wikimedia
Foundation and wishing her the best in her new role with the Wiki Education
Foundation.
