Centers & Collaborations
Extending our expertise
In addition to our academic mission to prepare future professionals in numerous fields, the College of Education offers more. Through centers of excellence and initiatives, we extend our professional contributions to advancing knowledge through research, engagement and service.
The emphasis of each center reflects the variety of expertise within the college: literacy, playground safety, early childhood development, educational leadership. While focused on external partners and communities, these often collaborative enterprises enrich the opportunities and environment for our faculty, students and staff as well.
