Five former McGinnis Reading Center literacy tutors graduated from the university in December 2015. Each of one of them has been hired to work as classroom teachers or reading/writing interventionists. 

Congratulations to Allison Bracken, 2nd grade, Washington Writers' Academy (Kalamazoo Public Schools); Amelia Cigelski-Reading Interventionist, Prairie Ridge Elementary (Kalamazoo Public Schools); Sara Merrils-Kindergarten, Northeastern Elementary (Kalamazoo Public Schools); Rebecca Moore-Writing Interventionist, Washington Writers' Academy (Kalamazoo Public Schools); Sabrina Schillers-Reading Interventionist, Lanigan Elementary (Farmington Hills Public Schools).
