Professional Development with EDGE
The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Global Engagement (EDGE) in the College of Education and Human Ecology (EHE) is committed to working collaboratively with groups to address issues affecting the wellbeing of students, families, educators and community members in and outside of schools. Part of this work includes ongoing education for stakeholders who wish to stay current on the latest and best pedagogies, practices, innovations, and research. To this end, EDGE provides and connects schools, government, industry, non-profit, and community organizations to a host of professional development opportunities offered by EHE faculty and staff.
