Adding to this institutional milestone, AEL Director Julie Johns has been named Outstanding MAACCE Member of the Year by the Missouri Association for Adult Continuing and Community Education.

Being recognized statewide reinforces the value and impact of what we do every single day."

Johns’ individual recognition as MAACCE Outstanding Member of the Year highlights her leadership, advocacy, and commitment to adult education across the state. The annual award recognizes a professional who demonstrates exceptional service to learners, active involvement in community initiatives, and dedication to advancing the field of continuing education.
