Greetings

Welcome to our website and to  Southern Connecticut State University.  Our highly regarded and NCATE accredited School of Education (SOE) offers more than 30 degree programs; preparing teachers at the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels of study, as well as certificate programs in the areas of education and human services. Here at Southern, faculty strive to challenge and prepare students to work with diverse perspectives and values and to foster student knowledge, skills and attitudes that will contribute to the education of the students they will serve. (Links on the left provide specific information about each degree and non-degree program.)  

As the dean of the School of Education, I am excited about my role in both leading and supporting such a fine SOE.  I am keenly aware of the meaningful and important ways Southern is impacting our region. As the largest teacher preparation program in the state, Southern has a rich history aligned with many success stories.  For decades our SOE has educated teachers, school administrators, coaches and trainers, researchers, counselors and school psychologists who have gone on to lead as educators.  Our Human Performance program is nationally recognized for its cutting edge research. Hence, we have much to be proud of. But I believe the best is yet to come as we move forward with new, innovative programs and a renewed mission to reach and enrich the lives of those we serve. It is my privilege to work with such a distinguished faculty and staff who are passionate about teaching and learning. In this time of new literacies, global perspectives, and increased expectations for high-quality teacher instruction, the faculty and staff at Southern will continue to work together as a high achieving, dynamic and collaborative faculty to promote best practice in research and instruction.

I enjoy meeting and getting to know our SOE students and alumni.  Please call or stop by anytime to visit.
