Michael McCook began his career with New Jersey SEEDS in 1995. From 1995 to 2001 he served at various times as a math teacher, site dean, admissions and post-placement counselor, and Director of Program. In the fall of 2001 Michael began a new career at the University of Pennsylvania where he served as Associate Director of Civic House (Penn's hub for student-led community service and social advocacy work), and Coordinator of the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project. In his role as Associate Director of Civic House, Michael coordinated and facilitated numerous workshops on tutor education and training, community service, and diversity.
During his four years at Penn, Michael completed his master's degree at Penn's Graduate School of Education. His graduate thesis, entitled "Low-Income, Urban Children of Color Attending Elite US boarding Schools: Their Social Preparation and Experiences" drew primary research from SEEDS, its scholars, and their families as well as a number of similar programs in the United States. Michael received a New Jersey SEEDS Faculty Award in 2005 for helping to create SEEDS successes through his dedication, motivation, and never ending support.
