Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am pleased to formally announce that Nancy Golden has agreed to step into the role of Director of Educator Preparation for our college ("on loan" from EMPL). In this role Nancy will operate as our chief "facilitator" of the ongoing work across our educator preparation programs and will work closely with leadership in those licensure programs. Many of you already know of Dr. Golden through her many leadership roles in Oregon's education field over the past decades. Some of those roles are summarized in the brief bio below. We are lucky to have Dr. Golden join the College of Education's leadership team as we step into the year ahead.

Please join me in welcoming Nancy to this new role.

Regards,
