College welcomes new faculty, lecturer, post-docs for 2024-25

The Purdue University College of Education welcomes new colleagues this fall: nine faculty members, one lecturer, and two post-doctoral researchers.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome new faculty members, lecturers, and post-doctoral researchers to the College of Education,” said Phillip J. VanFossen, interim dean of the College. “Our new colleagues bring a wide range of experiences and expertise and will make significant contributions to programs in both departments – contributions that continue to define us as ‘quinoa’ in a field of wheat!”

The new faculty and lecturers will contribute to helping the College continue to provide innovative curriculum for teacher education: guaranteed, specialized preparation in meeting the needs of diverse learners; more hands-on experience; year-long student teaching; community-based learning experiences; preparation in virtual instruction; and induction and mentoring for new teachers.

“These new colleagues will further strengthen the College’s award-winning graduate programs, bring in new leadership and expertise into College centers, and help further its research mission,” said Wayne E. Wright, associate dean for Research, Graduate Programs, and Faculty Development.
