Evan is currently a full-time Master’s student studying Education Policy at the University of Texas at Austin. Outside of his internship, he works as a graduate assistant for in Student Leadership Development for University Housing at UT and as a lifeguard at UT-Austin. Evan's academic and professional interests include advocating for students with disabilities within and outside the classroom. This is his passion because he grew up with autism, and is always thinking about his identity growing up on the spectrum with his own challenges, and with a supportive family.

Spencer Cook

Policy Intern (2018 interim)

Spencer is a designer and consultant who's worked on everything from large scale sporting arenas to one-off, hand crafted furniture pieces. After nearly a decade in architecture and design, Spencer realized that he was ignoring one of his most valuable assets: his experience as a person with a disability. Since that revelation, he's become a licensed Registered Accessibility Specialist and a volunteer policy researcher CTD. He believes that as designers learn about the needs of their most unique users, their projects become stronger and more usable for everyone.
