coe-staff: The Weekly Vol. 5 #34

[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear COE Community,



We made it to the end of another academic year! Please take a moment to savor this moment and reflect on our shared work over the past year. Thank you for supporting our students and each other this year. We have a strong and committed team in the College of Education and I’m grateful for each of you. I hope you’ll plan on attending the College of Education Commencement ceremony on Monday June 17th (1-3pm outside on the Knight Library Lawn). This is a time to show up for our students and celebrate their accomplishments and this epic milestone!



Thanks for a great year.



With gratitude,

Laura Lee
