Welcome back to a great Fall 2025 semester!
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Michael D. Eisner College of Education (MDECOE). As I move from Associate Dean into the interim position of Dean, I am honored to continue my service in the MDECOE, one of the largest Colleges of Education in the CSU system, providing hundreds of outstanding new professionals in the fields of elementary, secondary, and special education, counseling, administration, and deaf studies. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with our talented faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners, all instrumental in ensuring the excellence of our educational programs and community-serving centers. Together, we remain dedicated to serving the diverse educational needs of our local San Fernando Valley and the broader southern California region.
