Thanks to your support, another successful year closed June 30 for the College of Education. Gifts large and small contributed to professional development efforts like the Institute for Educational Leadership, Bill and Linda Tubbs Teaching Connections and the new Social and Emotional Learning Conference.
Scholarships supported hundreds of students and faculty once again had additional funding to support their presentations at national conferences. Whether through end-of-year giving or efforts including the annual "Live Purple. Give Gold," your support made a difference.
The college also said farewell to Kim Hanna ('04), director of development, after four years with UNI. Announcement of a new director is pending.

Dubuque Senior graduate Miah Phalen (front, seated) is the 2022-23 recipient of the Sally Gearhart Strottman Memorial Scholarship in Elementary Education. Phalen's teachers and classmates helped her celebrate with family when Associate Dean Oksana Grybovych Hafermann and Director of Development Kim Hanna stopped by to recognize her accomplishment. The $10,000 scholarship, renewable annually, goes to a Northeast Iowa senior with a commitment to teaching.
