school of education
The School of Education continues to be a center of excellence, offering high‑quality degree programs grounded in rigorous coursework and extensive experiential learning. Through internships, collaboratives, field placements, faculty‑mentored research, and innovation projects, we prepare future educators with the skills and cultural awareness needed to thrive in diverse learning environments.
Through Light the Way, donor support strengthened this mission in powerful ways. The campaign elevated students, faculty, and programs by expanding access to high‑impact learning experiences, supporting promising future teachers, and fueling the innovation needed to confront educational inequity. Because of this generosity, we are poised to create lasting impact in North Carolina’s schools and across the nation.
