Meagan Treadway

Director of Special Projects, Grand Valley State University

Early in her career, Dr. Treadway worked in advising and as adjunct faculty in the life sciences. After that time, she spent eleven years in the Registrar’s Office at GVSU as the Associate Registrar for Auditing and Curriculum. In that role, Dr. Treadway provided leadership, management, and oversight for the day-to-day operations of the auditing and transfer evaluation units and supported curriculum implementation. She also served as a liaison between the Registrar’s Office and the rest of the university community in work such as that with the Office of Student Life, University Curriculum Committee, and the Undergraduate Academic Advising Leadership Council.

Dr. Treadway joined the GV NextEd Co-Lab in the Summer of 2022 as Director of Special Projects, an incubator founded on the principles of liberatory co-design. She is responsible for implementing and managing an evolving portfolio of new projects aligned with the Co-Lab’s mission of creating new paths to and through the University for all learners, with a focus on scale, efficiency, impact, and the closing of equity gaps. Her current projects include an innovative dual enrollment experiment; grant, tech, and research support for the K-12 Connect tutoring program; and her growth as an industry thought leader in the area of digital credential wallets.
