Staff and Faculty ADVOCACY BOARD

Cori Mantle-Bromley, dean, was appointed to the Deans for Impact board of directors. The newly founded national organization includes 18 deans from colleges of education and other teacher preparation programs from across the country who are working together to improve student learning and other outcomes. Members are committed to improving student-learning outcomes by transforming the field of educatorpreparation. The organization is focused on ensuring teacher preparation programs are effective, and educators who participate in the preparation programs are ready to teach and lead in ways that measurably improve student learning.

Nancy Morrison, who has worked for the college for 17 years and is the budget specialist in the dean’s office, graduated from UI with her bachelor’s degree in general studies.

Members of the College of Education Advocacy Board offer advice and support to the dean and administration to help improve the quality of college academic, research and outreach programs. They work with college leadership to develop and implement the strategic plan and serve as ambassadors by promoting the college to constituents. The Advocacy Board also assists in identifying and acquiring additional resources and financial support for the college and provides leadership in identifying and recruiting new board members, and making nominations for honorary degrees and alumni awards. Board members meet with college leadership twice a year, but are active year-round in supporting the direction and efforts of the college as well as sharing its accomplishments. We are grateful for their dedication and service.
