effectiveness through research
MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#capellaproud–Capella University and think2perform have partnered to launch the

scholars, they are practitioners as well.”

Abel School of Social and Behavioral Science. Students can apply for
the fellowship and go through a competitive selection process. After
being accepted, they conduct high-level research, engage in cohort
