The College of Education and Human Development is proud to announce many wonderful activities, events and success of our TRiO Future Educator Success Program.  Listed below are a few recent accomplishments to acknowledge:

• TRiO student Audreanna Shannon is a MI-CAPP Scholarship Award Winner this year and will attend an award ceremony in Grand Rapids this February.
