- Priscilla Spencer, Ed.D. with the Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education Department. Her "future work will focus on the exceptional learner and the influence of parental engagement in the education journey."
- Ms. Sherrie Mitchell is the new Master Math Instructor for the Spartans Teach Program with a Master of Science degree in Applied Mathematics. In addition, she is the Center for Teaching and Learning representative for the School of Education.
