Student Ambassadors

The Elementary Education (ELED) Ambassadors are student leaders who play a critical role in advancing the mission of the program by helping to build a stronger community among students, teacher candidates, mentor teachers, administrators, program faculty and staff, and alumni. They achieve this by serving as program representatives at various university and college events and by planning professional development and social events for their ELED peers each semester.

Panelists included, from left to right, Alea Taylor (MEd, ’23), Katya Pocasangre (MEd, ’23), Federicka Algarme (MEd, ’23), and Cedric Price (MEd, ’22), Tracy Jefferson (MEd ’24), Joe Rolen (BSEd ’24), and Emma Fleming (BSEd ’24).
