Department Mission
Together, faculty and students in the Department of Education engage in interdisciplinary inquiry of the processes and institutions by which societies enculturate, socialize, and educate their youth, an inquiry that is grounded in the liberal arts and enables students to become citizen leaders and life-long learners.

African American Read-in 2019
The 2019 African American Read-in, co-sponsored by the Department of Education, the Black Studies Program, Sumner Hall, and Kent County Public Library, was a standing-room only event at Sumner Hall in February. It featured community and college volunteers reading their favorite selections by African Americans, and everyone had an opportunity to read, share in a small group, or just listen and enjoy. All children who attended were given a book to take home with them!
