Sense of community
"As a non-traditional student nearly twice the age of many of my classmates, I was worried about being the oddball in the class. This was not the case at all. Many classes encourage interaction among students, fostering a sense of community. As a result, I’ve developed many friendships with my peers. There are many talented and intelligent young men and women at UCM and I feel privileged to call many of them friends." Melody Ollison, middle school education major

Experience in the classroom
"Education majors student teach in their last semester. I’m currently doing my student teaching and I feel well prepared. This program is designed to get students into a real classroom at a local school district. I’m learning a lot working with the teachers in the schools, teaching lessons and working with kids. When I get my first job I will definitely be very well prepared." David Sanders, middle school education major

Sharing talents
