Some Personal Thoughts

Teaching at Central has been a blessing. After 35 years in the K-12 educational world, the college campus and its culture has grown on me. It is a joy to work with motivated students and a wonderful staff who are committed to sharing their hearts and minds. Overseeing the development of a teacher education department has been an exciting opportunity.

In fulfillment of our institutional mission, CCC’s teacher education program is preparing men and women to take their places in classrooms around the world. Our goal is to educate both the heart and the mind, as we are educating for today and eternity. What a great privilege and blessing!
