Brown University is honoring Hillary Salmons, executive director of the Wallace-supported Providence After School Alliance, with an award for achievement in education. Along with Wendy Kopp, founder of the Teach for America program, which recruits talented recent college graduates into teaching, Salmons is slated to receive the Leadership for Change through Education Award, given by Brown’s Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women. Salmons has led the Alliance in the development of an after-school program that serves middle-school children throughout Providence, taking it to “exciting new heights,” the head of the Pembroke Center’s awards committee said.
