Originally posted by RIC Education Students Association about the bulletin board in our FSEHD building:

“Go forth and do good. 💛🍎

Whether you’ve just graduated, are preparing for your very first practicum, or are stepping into your own classroom for the first time, remember this:

The relationships you build will outlast the lessons you teach. Your kindness will be remembered long after a test score is forgotten. Every student deserves an educator who believes in their potential, and that educator can be you.

As you begin this next chapter, trust your preparation, embrace the learning curve, and never underestimate the impact of showing up with compassion, curiosity, and courage.

Congratulations to every future and current educator. The profession is better because you’re in it. ✨”

We are so proud of all of the new and current educators!

Congratulations 🎉 to our recent graduate ✨Mikayla✨
Mikayla completed our “Congratulations! What’s Next Survey” and was randomly selected as 1 of 3 winners of a $50 Amazon gift card.
Thank you to everyone who participated, and congratulations again, Mikayla! We wish you all the best in your next chapter!

Dean Carol Cummings & Rhonda Gemma welcomed an energetic and enthusiastic ✨ group of Feinstein School of Education and Human Development students ✨to campus today! We can’t wait to see how they progress throughout their years at FSEHD!

Limit your time outdoors today, and if you can’t, make sure you hydrate, check on your elderly neighbors, seek shade, limit strenuous activities, and recirculate the air in your car. Self care is the best care.

FSEHD could not be prouder of the educators joining this program in the communities they will continue to serve throughout Rhode Island.
