Interest in CDE Collaborative
As a new faculty member in this Department at UK, I will be teaching in our undergraduate and graduate program in CLD. I'm quite excited to be part of a broader conversation about where this field is going and how to best develop classes and curricula to support students in gaining the core competencies they need to become the change agents and professions they hope to be.
