Frank Schulenburg is a longtime Wikipedian who currently serves as the Wiki Education Foundation’s Executive Director.

Since the very beginning of my involvement with Wikimedia, I’ve been passionate about programmatic work. I truly believe that programs play a key role in improving Wikipedia’s quality, getting more people to edit Wikipedia and in providing access to Wikipedia’s content to people around the globe.

I am the Wiki Education Foundation’s Executive Director, but this is my personal account. Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Wiki Education Foundation. In my professional capacity I use the account Frank Schulenburg (Wiki Education).
