We celebrated the end of another terrific year in the Reading Center. We are indeed fortunate to have such a talented staff and dedicated Leadership Council. Monica Roberts, who has made a significant difference as one of our specialists with dozens and dozens of children is retiring. She has shown graduate students, interns, and volunteers exactly what best practices look like! She will be greatly missed .

We are delighted to share a significant milestone for the Hazel Miller Croy Reading Center and the CSU, Fullerton Department of Literacy and Reading Education. Drs. Soomin Chao and Laura Keisler have secured a partnership with the OC Department of Education to establish the first-ever Project GLAD® Research & Development Center (RDC). It will be housed at the Reading Center. Project GLAD® (Guided Language Acquisition Design) is a nationally recognized instructional model with over 40 years of history supporting multilingual learners through language-rich, content-integrated teaching. This partnership bridges university research capacity with district-level expertise, creating a dedicated hub where educator experiences are studied, practitioner voices are centered, and findings are used to strengthen the evidence base for GLAD® implementation across PreK–12 settings. For the HMC Reading Center, this means a new and ongoing role as a Foundations Training site, a year-round professional learning hub, and a future live classroom demonstration site, all while opening a meaningful funding stream that supports our center's mission.
