Future educators participate in SEHD faculty-led writing and career workshops
On April 15, 2024, Middlebrook Elementary School in Trumbull, CT, visited Fairfield University to participate in career preparation training to explore opportunities in the mental health and education field provided by the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) faculty. The visit was funded by a grant awarded by the Town of Trumbull Business Education Initiative (BEI).
“We were so happy to have future teachers, counselors, social workers, and psychologists visit campus to learn how they can achieve their dreams,” said Assistant Dean of the School of Education and Human Development and Certification Officer, Laura Whitacre.
Whitacre collaborated with the SEHD faculty listed below, to lead engaging writing and career workshops for the elementary school students.
