MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Pathways & Purpose, a quarterly publication of the UofL College of Education & Human Development!

The college has always made it a priority to communicate good news. Now, this new, intentional effort will connect and inspire our entire community — alumni and supporters, current and prospective students, faculty, staff, partners and stakeholders.

Having been a part of the faculty for 19 years, five of those as Interim Dean, I’m proud to share that the college is consistently recognized for excellence in teaching, research and service to the community.

I believe part of why we’ve been so successful is our focus on the success of our students. I keep these four promises to each and every student:

1. They will be prepared for what comes next.

2. They will have access to stellar faculty and staff here in our college.

3. We will provide the supports necessary to help them be successful.

4. They will have meaningful, authentic learning experiences in and out of the classroom.

You’ll read much more about how we fulfill these promises in the pages that follow. I couldn’t be more proud and excited to unveil this publication, and I invite you share your own good news with us!

Sincerely,

Amy Lingo, Interim Dean College of Education & Human Development
