The Department's graduating students have been successful in the job market, or in securing attractive internships that should lead to excellent employment. The Provost is suggesting that the College of Education should look at reorganization. In the year 2000, this does not seem like as threatening a suggestion as it did a half-dozen years ago. With the strong enrollment at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and the number of total faculty, we have a good chance of being able to continue to stand alone, or at the most, have another smaller program added to the Department. The Department is currently conducting searches for two faculty positions, one in Sport Administration and one in Physical Education.
Technology continues to be emphasized for instruction and scholarly pursuits.
Additionally, the faculty are busy professionally, publishing, presenting, involved with teacher inservice, and continuing our efforts to improve our strong field-based program here in Leon County, especially on the South Side.
