The Werklund School of Education has served as the foundation of my success, both as an emerging educator, and as a life-long learner. In my time as a student, I have sprouted meaningful relationships with future colleagues and professionals within the field of education. My professors served me as well-versed instructors, mentors, and at times, compassionate colleagues willing to assist me as I navigated the early stages of my teaching practice. It is at Werklund that I am reminded that education empowers us to cultivate our true potential, paving way for personal growth and societal progress.
