As I mark my first year as Dean of the College of Education and Human Development at Temple University, I've spent much of that time listening, learning and shaping a new direction for our college. This year, we were ranked No. 48 among the 2024 Best Graduate Schools of Education by U.S. News & World Report—reflecting our dedication to excellence and equity in education.

Our new vision, mission, values and strategic priorities are focused on ensuring access to outstanding education and advancing equitable systems. Through research, teaching and community partnerships, we're making a positive impact in Philadelphia and beyond.

I invite you to explore our annual report, which highlights our progress and commitment to urban education and community uplift. Let's continue to imagine the possibilities and work together to create meaningful change.
