Welcome to the Dean’s Blog

Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends of the University of Oregon College of Education,

Welcome to the College of Education Dean’s Blog. Here I will report on our College initiatives, challenges, accomplishments, events and people. All blog content, however, has a singular focus – how we embrace our mission of Research Driving Change.

As I say too frequently, I have the best job in the world. I have the honor and pleasure every day of working with talented and well-intentioned people who are improving outcomes for children, youth, adults, families, schools, clinics, hospitals, and other institutions every day. Please read on and let me know if you wish to join us on our mission of advancing knowledge for the benefit of people and society.

Regards, Emily Tanner-Smith, PhD, Interim Dean, Thomson Professor
