Message from the Dean
Welcome to the 2016 Spectrum Magazine for the UTSA College of Education and Human Development! While no single publication can capture the full range and quality of activities that our students and faculty have participated in, this issue provides a glimpse into some of the wonderful work that we have done over the past year. In 2016, we welcomed seven new faculty members, produced more than 350 new teaching professionals, added four new academic programs, and graduated over 1,100 students.
In this issue of the Spectrum, you will read about how our education students are learning how to incorporate the latest technology tools and programs into their classrooms. You will also read about the college’s commitment to community service through the new Academy for Crisis and Trauma Counseling and through the off-campus doctoral program in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies.
This issue will also introduce you to some of our top-tier students, including Amanda Hernandez, who has dreams of becoming a professor and mentor to Latina college students. You can also read about some of the innovative research our faculty and students, like Amanda, are actively engaged in.
Over the past six months as Dean, I have gotten to know the faculty, staff, students, and community partners that have made the college a great success over the years. Together, we are setting new goals and reaching new heights to continue our momentum towards Tier One. Right now, there’s no better place to be than the UTSA College of Education and Human Development.
Thank you for your continued support of our college!
Best Wishes,
Dr. Margo DelliCarpini, Dean
