The College of Education celebrates its 50th anniversary of training future teachers, counselors, advisors and military leaders in 2015.
The university has a long and proud history of training future teachers, as two members of Bluemont College’s first graduating class went on to be educators. The department of education was housed in the College of Arts and Sciences until 1965 and moved into its new home in Bluemont Hall in 1981.
Debbie Mercer, dean of the college, explained there will be a yearlong celebration that kicks off at Open House and concludes with the 2016 Open House.
I remember my days at Bluemont Hall fondly.
