Sixteen students received their Doctor of Education in Learning, Leadership, and Community during the 2015 Commencement ceremony. Kathleen Norris ’98CAGS, coordinator of the Doctor of Education and Higher Education programs, says, “Students completed coursework that included significant community outreach and an externship that brought them in direct contact with new thinking and experiences related to their research proposals. Every one of these students provides evidence of the integration of our program hallmarks—leadership and advocacy, scholarship and action, reflection and innovation, global awareness and social responsibility, professionalism and service—into their research, service, and professional lives.” Congratulations to all!
