Dear Friends of the School of Education,

It is my great pleasure to join St. John’s as Dean of the School of Education. Now that I have been here for almost two months, I am learning just how proud we should all be of TSOE. It is truly a great place! I want to share a few highlights in this Newsletter in celebration of just some of the achievements of our faculty.

Much more to come -- Stay tuned!

Warm regards,

James Wolfinger
