Whether your dream is to be a teacher in a local public or private school, a researcher working on policy issues, a community advocate for a non-profit, an education professor, or something we haven’t yet imagined, we strive to help you to accomplish your goals!
We are a community of active and accomplished faculty who are nationally recognized for our contributions to research, theory, policy, and practice. As researchers and mentors, we collaborate with our partners and students to link critical research questions to community-based issues, drawing on diverse disciplines, using a range of methodologies, and establishing partnerships with our local communities.
We are also a community of diverse and engaged students who are truly changing lives through teaching, research, and policy. Our supporters are some of our biggest advocates in advancing our mission. Together, we aim to transform education and our communities.
