Welcome from the Dean

As we approach the beginning of a new academic year, we will have a number of new and returning students within the College. Numerous learning experiences are provided to students, both in and outside the classroom setting, and we are very pleased to begin the new academic year in Gary A. Ransdell Hall. Accompanying our mission of “Empowering individuals to lead and serve our dynamic world” are increased opportunities for students to participate in international learning experiences, new programs to develop WKU students’ skills for succeeding in college coursework, and a renewed commitment to nurture students and faculty research efforts. These and many other initiatives are led by a dedicated faculty and staff in collaboration with numerous individuals throughout the larger university community. Our graduates are making a difference in the lives of those they serve, and your continued support for students and programs in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences is greatly appreciated.
