Matthew Laposata is an associate professor of environmental science at Kennesaw State University who has been involved with SENCER since the first Institutes.  In the past several years, Matthew has had extensive experience with the granting process from all sides – as a reviewer, an administrator, and a writer. 

As a Fellow, Matthew plans to leverage his expertise on preparing federal and private grant proposals for teaching and learning projects to help members of the SENCER community be more successful in gaining support for their programs.  He will pilot this program within his regional area, and will expand to all areas at a later date. 

Matthew was elected a SENCER Leadership Fellow in November 2008.
