Welcome to the College of Education
- Dick Howell, COE Dean
Challenge and Change
The winds of change are clearly upon every aspect of public education, and the College of Education at UNM is responding to the challenges we all face in these very uncertain times. As with any learning organization, our goal is to continue to define and refine ourselves, as well as to provide the best educators possible for our state and nation. We are taking positive and proactive steps to respond to the pressing needs of our many partners—public, private, and communities—with as much innovation and collaboration as possible. In addition, we are rapidly expanding our technological capacity to match the rapidly growing distance programs that are being developed and offered throughout the state, nation, and world.
Asking the Big Questions
The faculty, staff, students, and community are engaged in a sustained conversation of the mission of the college that will soon reach fruition. This intense effort to look at ourselves, and into our possible futures, will serve us well as we navigate the complex environment that has both historical and contemporary problems woven together. We are well positioned to not only survive the challenges that confront us, but to thrive and grow in new and positive directions during this time.
New Directions
Of the many things that need to happen in our educational systems, we can only focus on a few, select undertakings that will produce the greatest amount of positive growth—both internally and externally. The college is focusing on increasing the quality of its programs through completely integrated assessment systems, new curricular development, and “hybridized” technological delivery. It does this while maintaining the intent of higher education, stressing cultural competency, inquiry, application of new learning, and service.
An Invitation
We urge you to consider the many aspects of the College of Education at UNM that will help you achieve your personal and career goals. The atmosphere of intelligent and strategic advancement, aligned with a commitment to enhancing diversity makes us a place to do new and creative educational work.
We hope that you will browse our website to see the extraordinary variety of possibilities that await you in our college. As the flagship college of education in New Mexico, we offer a range of bachelor, masters, and doctoral programs unparalleled in the state. We invite you to consider us; call or email about joining us in a great adventure.
Best wishes,
Dick Howell, Dean
