"More than anything, I am so grateful for how relevant the coursework was. Many classes allowed me the autonomy to design projects to both meet my professors' expectations and the real needs within my classroom and school, and I am still utilizing many of the resources found and created during my coursework in my teaching!"

Hayley Vander Wal, Master of Education Graduate
