Aim Higher

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts it is to teach them to think

The College of Education is located in and serves the needs of one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. Thus, the College reflects the dynamic character of urban life and is sensitive to the special experiences, conditions and opportunities presented by a culturally diverse student body.

The college theme, "The Effective Urban Educator: Reflective, Innovative and Committed to Diversity," reflects the mission of the college and is the driving force of our commitment to education and our strive for excellence, inclusion and social justice.

Welcome from Dean Carolyn Shields

Register for the April 20th Frederick C. Neff Memorial Lecture: Enrich Your Life: The Expressive Therapies Continuum as a Path to Living Well
January 27 2012
Partrich Auditorium, WSU Law School
The Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC) offers a way to understand how people have the abilities to take in, process, and share information through six equally important channels.  Usually people only use a small portion of these abilities and find their lives constricted and their self-expression stifled.  This lecture offers easy ways to increase your awareness, open all ETC channels, and enrich your life.   This lecture should be of interest to art therapists, artists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, teachers, graduate level students, and others would like to learn more about visual media or who are interested  in understanding and developing personal awareness and self-expression. Dr. Hinz’ book, Expressive Therapies Continuum: A Framework for using Art in Therapy  will be available at Marwil’s Bookstore, 4870 Cass Avenue, 832-3078.
