Dear members of the Faculty of Education Community,
I am so proud and excited to begin my term as your Dean (as of June 1, 2024). In this first message, I wanted to share with you my vision for our Faculty and tell you a bit about my background.

Dear Faculty of Education Community,
Working Nation, a US-based organization working to highlight career/technical education and vocational training across the country asked Dr. Michael Lipset (DISE) to appear on their video-based YouTube series highlighting workforce efforts in education.

鈥淪ince my first months at 91社区, I鈥檝e slowly learned to extend the incredible compassion and community-building that my classmates have imparted to me. The creation of togetherness in every class, club, or team has been pivotal in building who I am now, and I am happily a part of a Rube Goldberg machine that inspires the next generation to flourish. As we graduate, we leave connected and ready to improve the lives around us.鈥�
