It is a true privilege to serve this college, a college driven by passionate students,
dedicated staff, and innovative faculty. Here, we believe deeply in the power of education
to transform lives, strengthen and serve communities, and advance opportunities.
Our students are at the heart of everything we do. They bring energy, curiosity, and purpose to their coursework, internships, research, and community engagement. Watching them grow into educators, leaders, and changemakers is one of the greatest joys of this role.
Our faculty and staff are leaders in their fields, pursuing rigorous scholarships, embracing innovative methods, and committing themselves to practices that foster inclusive and effective learning environments. Their work extends well beyond campus, contributing to policy, practice, and innovation across the region and state.
As Interim Dean, I am excited for the path ahead. Together, we will further amplify our impact by forging strong community partnerships and elevating the visibility of our groundbreaking work. We will sustain and enhance a culture of learning, collaboration, and innovation, always centering student success and academic excellence.
Thank you for visiting our site. I hope you’ll learn more about the many ways we prepare educators, leaders, and scholars to serve with purpose and integrity.
Warm regards,
Dr. Angie D. Cartwright
Interim Dean, College of Education
