Every fall a new chapter in the University of Florida’s story begins. At the College of Education, along with returning to our historic Norman Hall, we warmly welcomed 15 new faculty our EduGator community. Each brings with them a wealth of knowledge and new perspectives, adding expertise in the areas including: advanced learning technologies, counselor education, early childhood, educational leadership, educational psychology, higher education administration, math education, school psychology, special education, teacher education, and research evaluation and methodology. Brief bios of each are below.
Along with faculty who joined us last fall, this group represents the our ambition to attract top talent and to continuously improve the faculty to student ratio. We welcome these new faculty and look forward to filling additional open positions, as we continue working toward Building A Brighter Future.
