It is with deep sadness that we announce that Stuart Andreason, Ph.D., a member of the Heldrich Center’s National Advisory Board, has passed away.

In recent years, Stuart has been serving as Executive Director of Programs at the Burning Glass Institute. Previously, he was the Founding Director of the Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and a Research Associate at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Institute for Urban Research. He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Virginia and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.

Stuart has been a longtime partner and ally of the Heldrich Center, collaborating with our researchers and staff on research projects, conferences, podcasts, books, and articles with the Federal Reserve. He has been a constant source of knowledge, encouragement, and wisdom for our faculty, researchers, staff, and students. We will miss him deeply and send our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
