Adrian Ali-Caccamo
Adrian (St Paul, MN) attended Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service (2024), where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa with honors in the International Politics major. At Georgetown, he was described as “the single most effective and thoughtful student leader” of the last decade, given his substantial work on curriculum, admissions, and diversity, equity, and inclusion policy. He is passionately dedicated to US equitable education policy reform, having interned on education policy with the US Senate, worked on a private think tank focused on education equity (where he liaised with the D.C. State Board of Education and other municipal and state governments and organizations), and taught with the National Education Equity Lab at Georgetown. He was selected for two different year-long research fellowships, and participated in Georgetown’s Making an Exoneree program focused on helping overturn wrongful conviction cases. Adrian’s first year was spent pursuing the MA in Comparative Education at UCL, where he produced research on higher education access, the history of school privatization movements, and the effects of interest group politics on education policymaking. During his second year, Adrian will pursue the MSc in Policy Research at University of Bristol. Since moving to the UK, he has additionally joined the National Center on Education and the Economy as a Graduate Research Intern. After completing the Marshall, Adrian plans to attend law school and study the intersection of education, civil rights, and constitutional law. He hopes to spend his career focused on improving quality, student attainment, and equity in U.S. public education.
