“JWU’s Ed.D. program is for, by and about practitioners,” says Associate Professor Victor Mercurio, Ed.D., who spent 30 years in Rhode Island’s K-12 public system as a teacher, principal, program director and superintendent before joining JWU’s faculty.
“It’s incumbent upon me to make sure that I provide students with not only something that they can use immediately on Monday to solve a problem, but something that they’re thinking about and that’s resonating with them three years from Monday.”
