RESILIENT. EMPOWERING. STRONG.

As Dr. Autherine Lucy Foster said,"If I am a master teacher, do you know what I hope I'm teaching you? That love will take care of everything in our world."

Students in the College of Education are committed to the service of others through teaching at the K-12 and higher education levels, training and guiding others about their physical and mental health, examining how the brain works with regard to learning and more. All of this is done with love and commitment to better the world we live in TOGETHER.
