Faculty & Staff
At the core of our education programs is the belief that teaching goes beyond the transference of knowledge. It is a transformative practice that shapes the students of today into the leaders of tomorrow.
Our faculty recognize the vital role educators play as change agents in their communities because they are educators themselves, gaining experience as K-12 teachers, administrators, guidance and mental health counselors, researchers, and special education instructors. They are committed to preparing you to think critically, transform practice, and promote justice wherever your education journey leads.
