What is the Undergraduate Student Assembly?
The Undergraduate Student Assembly provides opportunities for students to serve as leaders through being a liaison between the students and the leadership within the College of Education. Each semester, the Student Assembly hosts an Undergraduate Student Forum followed with a meeting with the Dean. The Forum is an event where all COE students are welcome to come discuss any concerns or ideas that the student assembly members will then share with the Dean in order to promote positive change within the College of Education.

"The College of Education is a special college because it prepares those who want to guide future generations. However, as we prepare ourselves we may not be given every resource or opportunity necessary to learn, grow, and thrive. The Undergraduate Student Assembly ensures undergraduate students' voices are heard and brought directly to the dean. As a member for two years I've witnessed these fruitful conversations firsthand and how they've aided the processes of improving our college. Being part of the assembly not only ensures that current students will be able to thrive, but also those who come after us."
