    I am in the elementary education program and I feel that I have been prepared to the best of my university’s ability to be an outstanding teacher. I have had many field experiences that have prepared me even more so than the courses I have taken. I am grateful for the priceless education that I have received from this university. I have been inspired to further my education into grad school in order to receive my master’s degree in reading education! This area of specialization will help me in the classroom and in order to become a reading specialist!
    The course subjects were interesting and multi-faceted, the professors cared about the discussions that occurred and provided an expert perspective on the underlying issues in Public Health. This program speaks to the passionate humanitarian in students wanting to make a difference and encourages creative innovation for today's problems to lead to a better future.
