Education Career Day - Joint with TWU

The course explores the development and the evolution of the community college as an innovation in U.S. higher education, factors that influenced its creation and development, its historical and philosophical roots, and the mission and function of community colleges. See Attachment for more detail.

The College of Education supports the scholarly development of our graduate students. As part of this support the COE provides awards for graduate students travel to conferences. Graduate students seeking this support must be enrolled in at least 6 hours of course work in the semester they apply for the funds. Students are limited to one COE Graduate Student Travel award per academic year (September 1 – August 31). Awards will be made until funds are exhausted.

Welcome to the spring 2009 issue of Results! As the semester draws to a close and commencement plans are underway, this is both a time of reflection and hopeful optimism for our students, faculty and staff.
