Q&A with Meredith

At ´óÏó´«Ã½, education is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. You’re not going to spend four years with your nose buried in a book, learning theories you may never get a chance to apply — you’re going to get out there and apply them, be it through internships, group projects, leadership opportunities, competitions and more.

What Is Your Favorite Teaching Moment?

I love seeing the light come in a student's eyes. That moment when it clicks and they understand is why I love education.
