✨ This past November, our alumni had the unique opportunity to INSPIRE some students! ✨

Students from the Inspire Living-Learning Center, an undergraduate community of future educators, traveled to Chicago to visit Courtenay Language Arts Center, a school within the Chicago Public Schools District. During their visit, they had dinner with alums Rosemary Rehak (M.S.Ed ‘77 & Ed.D ‘86) and Sarah Brinegar (B.S.Ed ‘19). By hearing alumni stories and advice, students gained a deeper understanding of the profession and the many ways educators make an impact throughout their careers.

Thank you to Sarah, Rosemary, and the Inspire LLC for making this experience possible!

Curious about AI and how it can improve education? Anne Ottenbreit-Leftwich (left) and Cindy Hmelo-Silver (right) are two collaborators on a brand new research project, which will use AI to assist middle school science teachers and students. Click the link down below to learn more! 👇✨
