Angela Ebreo

She also leads the Personal Assets and System Strengths (PASS) Program, a partnership between researchers who are interested in understanding how personal strengths lead to contributive lives in which positive human values are expressed in various contexts.   A social psychologist by training, Dr. Ebreo is interested in interventions that contribute to the positive development and well-being of persons of all ages, particularly young adults, and the elderly.  Although funding for the Michigan Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation and  the Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence for the Study of STEM Interventions (LSRCE-SOSI) ended in 2025, Dr. Ebreo and her colleagues continue work on topics related to broadening participation in STEM, in addition to other projects.  From 2007 until 2013, she served as Assistant Director for Research and Training in UM’s National Center for Institutional Diversity.   Prior to her position with the University of Michigan, Dr. Ebreo was the Assistant Director for Research and Training at the Institute for Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois Chicago.  During her employment at UIC, she developed relationships with several Asian American serving non-profit organizations, including Advancing Justice – Chicago, Alliance for Immigrant Rights and Empowerment, CIRCA-Pintig, and the Filipino American Council of Greater Chicago. Due to her long-term commitment to community development and social justice, Dr. Ebreo continues to be involved in proposal development, grant writing and consulting.
