"The community and support that the College of Education provides is unmatched. Materials, resources, and knowledge is shared between professor and student and between peers. The creation of a cohort develops community and solidarity. There is a sense of shared experiences with a group of people that you grow close with after having the same classes with each other over the required coursework. The professors are top tier and go above and beyond due to their dedication to students and education. Professors like Dr. Ru and Dr. Maglaris who made a lasting impression on what it means to be an educator. This program invigorated my passion for education and reinforced my decision to pursue a career in education."
