EDS provides academic and social support through individualized advising and community, financial support, and career exploration by way of various seminars, panels, and workshops related to education and teaching. EDS is open to students who are pursuing teacher licensure or are majoring in one of the School of Education's four majors. All are welcome to apply! The program often attracts students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in higher education, including first-generation students, and anyone passionate about making a transformative difference in classrooms, the education system, and their communities.
