Throughout the academic year, the School of Education hosts an information session where faculty, staff, and students describe our programs and answer individual questions from prospective students. We explain the admission and financial aid processes and meet in small groups to provide an insider's view of our programs. Light refreshments are served.

Whether you're just starting to think about a career in education or you've already applied to one of our graduate programs, you will meet new people and learn something new about the School of Education at Mills. Please join us!
