Devon Hall is a Detroit native and education access and partnerships professional with more than a decade of experience helping students and families navigate college systems and access postsecondary opportunities. Her career has spanned college admissions, college access, student success, and K-12/postsecondary partnerships across Michigan, giving her a firsthand view of how policies and institutional practices can either expand opportunity or create additional barriers for students.
Devon currently serves as a Dual Enrollment Navigator at Oakland Community College, where she partners with students, families, high schools, and school districts to expand access to college coursework and strengthen pathways between secondary and postsecondary education. A major part of her work is helping students understand not only how to enter college, but also the expectations, processes, and decisions that can shape their ability to persist and succeed.
Her policy interests include dual enrollment, college access and affordability, student success, and the ways education policy is interpreted and implemented at the local level. She is especially interested in bringing practitioner and community perspectives into policy conversations and examining how Black students and families experience and navigate education systems.
Devon earned her bachelor’s degree in Communication from Saginaw Valley State University and is pursuing a Master of Public Policy at Michigan State University. Through the TICAS Leaders of Color Fellowship, she hopes to build on her professional experience and contribute to policy work that better reflects the realities students, families, and communities face.
