Dr. Sarah DeLeeuw
Program Director, Engineering for One Planet Mini-Grant Program (EOP-MGP)

Dr. Sarah DeLeeuw is the Program Director for the Engineering for One Planet Mini-Grant Program (EOP-MGP). She recently completed her PhD at George Mason University in Mathematics Education Leadership with a specialization in Instructional Technology, after completing her master’s and bachelor’s from Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame, respectively.

Sarah has a passion for teaching at all levels, and while her expertise is in college-level Calculus, her experience ranges from Pre-K to the professional development of teachers. Her teaching career at Purdue led her to receive a Certificate of Appreciation from the Black Alumni Association for her service to minority students and be awarded the Excellence in Teaching Award.

Gravitating toward mission-driven opportunities, Sarah has found her niche working in educational associations. During her tenure as a non-profit professional thus far, she has served in a wide range of leadership positions—securing funding for awards up to $1.4M, spearheading the website redesign of a national association with 100,000 members, directing projects with over 50 consultants, publishing research briefs as a series editor, and speaking at numerous national conferences.

In addition to her work in academia and non-profits, she has served in various roles in media and production—spanning professional sporting events, daily news, and even presidential nominating conventions. In her free time, Sarah loves to travel. Most recently, she traveled with her husband to Kenya, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Norway, France, and Australia.
