Brian Dillon graduated from Georgetown in 2011 with majors in political economy and Spanish. Through a grant from the Education and Global Social Justice Project, Brian examined the work of Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City, Philippines in June 2010, focusing on the development of public schools with the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED). He conducted a series of interviews with members of the campus and wider communities in order to explore how Ateneo's Jesuit-driven mission motivates and frames ACED's work; its emphasis on empowering the school communities with a total school approach; the challenges it faces going forward; and the applicability of the model elsewhere.
