A Message from the Dean

Welcome. I am grateful to be a member of the Minnesota State University, Mankato community, and honored to serve as the Dean of the College of Education. Our college has a proud legacy of providing exceptional and relevant programs that prepare students for success. This legacy is matched by our extraordinarily talented and dedicated community of faculty and staff.

Grounded in our vision, we are committed to anti-racist, anti-oppressive practices, striving to advance social justice and equitable outcomes that lead to measurable growth. We empower learners, foster collaboration, promote reflective practice, and embrace diversity in all its forms. Our college continues to offer relevant and innovative programs that prepare students for both personal development and the future workforce by integrating instruction and research.

In our college, the future is shaped not only by our present culture but also by the spirit, talents, and experiences of future members who will join our community.

Welcome, and join us in exploring future possibilities!
