Rachel Curtis
Coming back to the world of academia at this stage in my life has been so invigorating and rewarding. It has unlocked a desire in me to stay curious, always, and never stop learning.
Rachel Curtis, BA in Early Childhood Studies and Patricia Nourot Scholarship recipient, 2023
Sergio Santiago
There is no reason why a family or child should ever be alone in their educational journey or their life as active members of society! There are many resources available for children and their families who might find themselves living with autism. We can be great contributing factors to many struggles that might have effects over a family.
Sergio Santiago, ECS BA and Special Education Credential (ITEP) & Commencement Speaker, 2023
Sarai Islas

SEEDS

SEEDS

The Seawolves to Education Specialists (SEEDS) Project, funded by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education, aims to increase the number of diverse credentialed special education teachers with the knowledge and skills to serve children and youth with disabilities (ages 5-22). SEEDS recognizes that all students learn better with diverse teachers and that multiple aspects of diversity (e.g., race, ethnicity, disability status, language) enrich classroom communities. Students enrolled in the Education Specialist credential program, including those in the ECS-ITEP major, at SSU are eligible to become SEEDS scholars in their last year of the program.
