How Does Neuroscience Intersect With Education? - Podcast

Join Dr. Kelley Munger (researcher) and Megan Marcus, (founder) of FuelEd on the Philanthropy United Podcast, season 01 episode #5 with Jessica Leila Adnani & Kendal Macumber.

  • How we become engaged in education, and why we love this work?
  • How neuroscience intersects with education?
  • Education in the pandemic, how we responded as an educational community, and what can we do better?
  • What is an emotionally intelligent educator?
  • What is a relationship-driven school?
  • How does this all translate to long-term relationships?
  • What can fundraisers and alumni relations professionals take from your research and practice?
  • What are the top things that engagement professionals in education can do to get better at this type of impactful relationship-building?
