How Did your USF Education Prepare You to do your work?
My USF education prepared me for the rigors of balancing supporting students emotionally as well as academically. The emphasis on service at school has inspired me to look beyond the classroom for ways to support a student's sense of belonging at school.”
Wilson Skinner ’12
Special Educator and Department Head at Francisco Middle School
I love the support I've received from the Special Education program. With mentorship, I've seen my potential and focus go far beyond what I expected. In such a short period of time, I saw how much of an impact I could make on my students based on how much of an impact they made on me.”
