A Message from the Dean of the College of Education:
As the Spring semester comes to a close, I’d like to thank the many faculty and staff members who have sacrificially guided, mentored, instructed, supported, and prayed for our students on their journey toward having their own classroom, counseling office, school building or higher education position.
In the many conversations I have with our students, both in and outside the classroom, this is the theme that they share with me. They feel supported in this very personal academic and professional journey. They often comment that the MBU distinctive is feeling both seen and known. I can’t think of anything that aligns better to our Christian distinctive than this.
On behalf of my three Associate Deans, faculty, adjunct instructors and staff, thank you for serving our students with excellence, with humility and with the love of Christ. This is holy work that we do. What a blessing to do it with this COE team.
Dr. Tammy Cox
