From Paraprofessional to Teacher “I didn’t want to earn my education degree from just any college. I wanted substance, personal attention, and value, and I knew I’d get that at Rollins, where the faculty are so strong and there’s such a sense of community. The program exceeded my expectations and then some.” Marybelle Doe ’21, Varying Exceptionalities Instructor, Cypress Creek High School
