🔙✨ Flashback Friday ✨🔙

In Spring 2025, the Special Education Department welcomed students and faculty from Pocono Mountain East and West High Schools for a day immersed in the College of Education experience at KU.

This visit was part of a growing partnership between Kutztown University, Pocono Mountain School District, and Colonial Intermediate Unit 20 to recruit, mentor, and prepare the next generation of special educators. That partnership continues today, with interested high school seniors having opportunities to connect with KU special education majors through mentorship, campus shadowing experiences, and Early College Academy coursework.

Together, we’re building pathways for future educators and putting Students First. 💛
