There’s a reason why we’re one of top education schools. During the past year, our talented faculty have attracted more than $10 million in grant money, been bestowed with prestigious awards and honors, and have contributed significant work in books and journal articles. The college launched two new initiatives that will be making their marks in the policy world. Our students and alumni also have won a wide range of fellowships and awards to honor their achievements in changing the lives of Chicago’s school children. And, of course, U.S. News and World Report named us among the best graduate education schools once again. 

Here’s a glimpse of the impact COE is making today: 

More than 340 talented teachers, researchers, youth workers and education advocates turned their tassels last Friday, among them award-winners and leaders (already!) in their fields. Such talent makes COE one of the top education schools in the country, one that never wavers from its mission to serve students in urban  schools. Hats off to you, grads! You make us proud!
