"My time at the University of Northern Iowa was not
only a great period in my life with friends, family and community,
it prepared me for a lifetime's work. Today, as the Superintendent
of the nation's 22nd largest school system, not a day goes
by where I don't draw on my UNI experience. The solid foundation
in teaching and learning of my undergraduate program and my
master's program in Ed. Leadership at UNI have served me well.
From the deep understanding of how young people learn to issues
of policy, governance and school finance, I have been well
prepared."

"I keep returning to UNI to further my education and
learn more. It is all about quality and students first - isn't
that what education is all about? The University of Northern
Iowa provides excellent training for future leaders to further
everyone's life long learning."

"The program is about quality and the relationships
that graduate students build with the instructors at the University.
The Ed Leadership program at UNI uses current research and
practicing administrators in the field to expand the learning
of Ed Leadership students. Working together to strengthen
America's Education system is the goal."

"Many years ago, when I first enrolled in the UNI
doctoral program I was the superintendent of Starmont Schools
in Iowa. I was resolute in my desire to earn a doctorate degree;
but finding a program that provided a glimmer of hope of completing
was not an easy task. When I spoke to the folks at UNI I was
almost immediately convinced that it was the right spot for
me. A degree from UNI was attainable and would have the stature
necessary for me to do what I wanted with my career. Along
the way, I ran into some health problems which caused my dissertation
timeline to be extended; the people at UNI hung with me the
entire time. The work that I did at UNI has served me well
during my entire career as a school superintendent. I am proud
to be an alumnus; UNI opened many doors for me that, otherwise,
would not have been."
