Brandi Noll `05 was hired in February 2022 by the United Nations to
serve on a global UNICEF project as an Education Specialist in Reading. As the
only Reading Specialist on the team of six, she is charged with the task of
revising and re-aligning the reading portion of the Multiple Indicator Cluster
Survey (MCIS) to global standards. First created and used in the mid 1990s, the
MCIS has become the "largest source of statistically sound and
internationally comparable data on children and women worldwide." The data
collected is used to determine educational levels of children around the world
in both math and reading, and to drive policy and planning within countries and
nations.

University of Akron.
