"I obtained both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from ²Ø¾«¸ó. The course work and professors prepared me to be an adaptable educator in a career path that is in constant change. The College of Education at ²Ø¾«¸ó made an impact on my life so I can impact others."

Elsheika Thompson

Elsheika Thompson

Math Teacher, Beechwood High School
Master of Arts in Education, 2013

I was an international student while attending ²Ø¾«¸ó and although I was far away from my home, The Bahamas, the smaller class sizes at ²Ø¾«¸ó made it easier for me to get to know my peers and for my professors to hone in on my strengths and areas of growth. I was afforded the opportunity to serve as a teacher assistant for an undergraduate course, help with research, and to have courses tailored to my interest in math intervention. My experience at ²Ø¾«¸ó ignited a fire within me as I re-entered the teaching profession.

Dr. Shelli Wilson

²Ø¾«¸ó College of Education has given me the foundation in Educational Leadership to stay current, strive to be a servant-leader, and recognize the significance of community partnerships. ²Ø¾«¸ó has played a tremendous role throughout my career, whether it was as a student, a community partner, or a leader in the field of education. This region is very fortunate to have such an amazing University!
