Geri Anderson-Nielsen
Capitol Hill
Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee
1992-93
Washington, DC – Mathematics
Anderson-Nielsen notes, “During my year as a fellow for the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee chaired by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, I was asked to research the role of the federal government in supporting the use of technology in schools. Eventually this led to my being the staff person assigned to work on SB 1040 – Technology for Education Act introduced in June of 1993. Although the bill itself never became law, the section on establishing an Office of Technology was included in Goals 2000 along with grant programs to support schools in entering the age of Information Technologies. Most of the remaining parts of SB 1040 were incorporated into the 1993 Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.”
Anderson-Nielsen returned to her position at the Georgetown Day School, Washington, DC upon conclusion of her Fellowship.
