A look into being a COE SMAP Ambassador 🔍:
Hello everyone! My name is Nicole, and I am one of the Social Media Ambassadors for the College of Education. I had the wonderful opportunity to return to my alma mater, Farrington High School, to attend their college fair. It was an amazing experience, and I got to hear about the significant impact that teachers have made on these students!

Cherished moments of a COE student:
“Bittersweet goodbye today! ❤️ Surprised my amazing 3rd graders with a little something special on my last day of student teaching. My heart is full of all the laughter, learning, and growth we shared these past few weeks. One day, when I look back on my student teaching years, I will remember this group as the students who taught me resilience and to always look for the light!”
- Nicole, ESEE graduate & SMAP Ambassador
