Dr. Gregory Nyen, superintendent, Marquette-Alger RESA

MARQUETTE — Dr. Gregory Nyen, superintendent at Marquette-Alger RESA, has been selected to the 2025-2026 cohort of the Google GSV Education Innovation Fellowship, a program formed through a partnership between GSV and Google for Education. 

GSV is a global platform fueling scaled innovation in “PreK to Gray” education and workforce skills to ensure that ALL people have equal access to the future. Google for Education is a division of Google dedicated to empowering educators and students with tools and technologies that transform the learning experience.

“What began as a bold vision just two years ago has grown into a dynamic community of K-12 leaders driving meaningful change, from shaping district-wide strategy to leading instructional transformation at scale,” says Tiffany Taylor, partner and co-president of the ASU+GSV Summit. “The ripple effect of the Google GSV Fellowship is clear and growing–thanks to an incredible network of alumni and the brilliance of our new 2025-2026 cohort. These are 32 system-level leaders who are not just ready for what’s next, but actively shaping it–tackling some of education’s biggest opportunities through the lens of innovation and with today’s most powerful technologies. We’re honored to be on this journey with them.”

Throughout the year, Dr. Nyen will work alongside 31 other fellowship participants, collectively serving over 3.8 million students nationwide. Fellows will engage in collaborative projects, share insights and create tangible impacts for their districts and the broader education system. In this unique environment, the Google GSV Education Innovation Fellowship and newest cohort are poised to pave the way for more innovative and student-centered learning.
