A message from the Dean:
A message from the Dean, Dr. Gregory Anderson:
I would like to thank everyone for their warm welcomes and all the good wishes extended to me and my family since my appointment as Dean of the Morgridge College of Education.
In the short time I have been at DU, I have been impressed by the openness and willingness of the faculty, staff, and students to help me get up to speed with respect to the myriad of responsibilities associated with the Deanship. I am also very thankful to Professor Maria Riva, who has agreed to serve as the college's new Associate Dean. Dr. Riva is a stalwart member of the MCE faculty and along with the steady and calm presence of the Assistant Dean, Bill McGreevy, I am confident that our leadership team is both ready and capable of overseeing the next big growth period in the life of the college.
This is an exciting time to be in education as the nation urgently comes to grips with the need to improve educational opportunities for all students. However, with new opportunity also comes new responsibility regarding the importance of carefully advancing the mission of the Morgridge College to help address the most pressing social and educational issues of the day. To this end, I am in the process of meeting with faculty, staff, and students in an effort to get to know you all better and to learn more about individual academic programs, initiatives, centers, and institutes as well as the current research projects and agendas under-girding the Morgridge College of Education.
Let's have a wonderfully productive and constructive year and pledge to work collaboratively and inclusively to enhance the standing and influence of Morgridge College at the local, state, regional, and national levels.
Sincerely,
Gregory M. Anderson, Dean, Morgridge College of Education
