Executive Director, The To&Through Project
Dominique "Dom" McKoy is the Executive Director of The University of Chicago To&Through Project, where he works to ensure that leaders shaping students' journeys to and through college have access to high-quality data to better understand student experiences and inform the development of responsive supports.
Under his leadership, the To&Through Project partners with educators and leaders supporting students from 6th grade through college completion to use quantitative and qualitative data for inquiry and impact. Dom is passionate about facilitating public dialogue and partnerships that work to dismantle inequitable systems and develop postsecondary pathways students can access with agency and dignity.
Originally from Portland, Oregon, Dom moved to Chicago in 2011 to begin his career as a mentor and educator, working with 9th-grade young men on the city's South Side. He has since served as the Director of School Partnerships at OneGoal Chicago and as Deputy Director of the To&Through Project, which he joined in 2018 before stepping into his current role. He holds a Master of Arts in Public Policy from the University of Chicago's Harris School and a bachelor's degree from Kenyon College in Gambier, OH.
Dom is a 2018 Chicago Surge Fellow and a member of the 2023 Executive Program for Emerging Leaders class at the University of Chicago. Dom also serves as an emeritus board member of Project OneTen, a Chicago-based mentoring program supporting young men of color in their transition to high school. He enjoys getting book recommendations, gardening, and exploring Chicago with his two sons.
