We have a spectacular new space in the Teacher Education Building, and we are thrilled to share it with you. The great space results from of a partnership between our former Dean Diana Hess and Campus Facilities Planning and Maintenance. A huge thank you goes to Dean Hess, Adam Nelson, Steve Wildeck, Dan Byerly, Alex Johnson, Lindsey Honeyager, and dozens of others who all played a big part in making this space a reality. The School of Education and Campus shared the funding.
