Welcome to the Fall 2025 semester and the start of a new academic year!
Each new semester brings with it a sense of renewal, fresh opportunities and the excitement of discovery. At the Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences, we are proud to begin this year alongside a vibrant community of learners, educators and staff who are committed to making a difference in the world.
In this issue of our newsletter, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of our alumni, students and faculty. Their achievements and journeys embody who we are as a College—dedicated, innovative and deeply connected to the communities we serve. Through these stories, you will see how our collective impact continues to expand, not only within classrooms and clinics but also across local and global landscapes.
I invite you to celebrate with us the spirit of growth, resilience and collaboration that defines our College. Together, we will continue to shape the future of education and health sciences with purpose and passion.
