It's been an exciting year in the COE as more than 2,000 students - undergraduate and graduate - have expanded their knowledge in educational fields and grown professionally here and throughout their studies at Georgia Southern University. As a College, we continue to build on our national reputation for excellence in preparing students to teach, lead and serve, and in scholarship that provides new pathways to meet the needs of the 21st century's dynamic, diverse and technology-rich society.

 

  Through Southern Educator we will continue to bring you up-to-date information on happenings in the COE, and I hope you find our e-newsletter interesting, helpful and a good way to keep up with your COE friends and colleagues.

 

  As 2012 comes to a close, I want to personally wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. Where ever you are in your career, please know that you are always a part of the COE family.

 

  Teach. Lead. Serve. It's not just a saying. It's our motto for life.  

  

Sincerely,

Thomas Koballa, Ph.D., Dean
