CEPS Students and Alumni,
I hope spring semester is going well for you all so far! I am excited about the different opportunities CEPS has to offer: from Dr. Deane’s seminar on violence in schools to the upcoming CEPS Policy Forum hosted by Dr. Jules to our student reading group. Please take advantage of these opportunities as you seek to grow your own knowledge and connection with the School of Education.
Meanwhile, as many of our questions also turn to the upcoming year—whether that year brings graduation and next steps in your career or a new year of study—my faculty colleagues and I encourage you to make use of your academic advisor. Your advisor’s role is to help you navigate your coursework and milestone projects here in CEPS. Please ensure that you connect personally with your advisor at least once a semester to make the most of your advisory relationship. Please also check in LOCUS to confirm that your assigned advisor is recorded correctly.
If you have submissions to share for upcoming newsletters, please edit them for conciseness (6-10 lines of text) and send them to me. My wishes for a productive and meaningful semester!
Best regards,
Dr. Kate Phillippo, CEPS Program Chair, 2019-2020
