2020 was a tough year for all. Educators, in particular, have demonstrated that they are essential workers and have proven their worth and merit through their tireless dedication to ensuring that the future is better and brighter for all.
For the next year, the IU School of Education will be celebrating the enduring legacy of our alumni. Please join us as we recognize these inspiring individuals of all ages who have dared to chase their dreams and make a difference in this world.
Meca fell in love with the field of Special Education after substitute teaching in the Monroe County Community School Corporation. Her mentor teacher inspired her to obtain her master's degree, and she's been living her dream ever since.
While in law school, Patrick Ober realized he wanted to work to positively change education laws and policies and affect how learning is promoted. That realization led him to the School of Education, where he received his Ph.D. in History, Philosophy, and Policy in Education with a Specialization in Education Policy Studies.
