He administers the foreign language (French, German, Italian, Spanish), calculus, and statistics courses, and oversees Project Advance's research and evaluation, as well as the National Database of School-College Partnerships, which Project Advance houses. In addition, Newell serves as treasurer on the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) Board of Directors.

His research interests lie in improving the understanding of school-college partnership structure and function, and how college courses taken during high school are integrated into the undergraduate curriculum.
