Commencement Speaker
Stacy Erb
Director of Community Education Initiative, Apple Inc.
Stacy Erb is the Director of Community Education Initiatives (CEI) at Apple, where she leads strategy and develops programs to demonstrate Apple’s commitment to the value of education as a fundamental human right.
Through her leadership, CEI has evolved to include programs focused on coding, creativity, and community-connected learning. CEI creates pathways and opportunities for diverse learners — from K-12 students through individuals developing or improving their workplace skills — in developing the knowledge and skills needed for coding and app development.
With over 35 years of leadership experience in business, Erb has been a key contributor in shaping Apple’s Education Division since joining the company in 1993. Erb began her career at Apple leading a national education sales organization, a position she held for two decades. In 2013, she began leading several education-focused strategic initiatives for the company. This includes the 2014 Apple and ConnectED grant initiative, a $100 million commitment to bring products, services, and support to 114 diverse and economically disadvantaged schools in 29 states across the country.
As an enthusiastic and passionate supporter of equity and access to quality education, Erb has also focused on her passion for improving teaching and learning in the classroom through her work in her local community of Austin, Texas. This includes serving on the board of the South Central Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for six years, and serving as a Board Member of Wayside Schools.
