Wallin Education Partners, established by former Medtronic CEO Win Wallin, has a new leader with a strong background in education equity in Mohamed Sallam, who recently joined the nonprofit that helps low-income and BIPOC students earn college degrees through scholarships and counseling. Sallam says he aims to “offer comprehensive support that not only transforms the lives of students but has far-reaching economic and social impacts on students’ families.” In the new year, he’ll advance career pathway programs recently launched with Mortenson Construction and HealthPartners. Overall, he wants to increase the number of scholarships the organization awards as well as expand academic and early career support.
