What do you find interesting and rewarding at UWFox

“I’ve already observed a kindergarten classroom, and my education courses are smaller compared to what I would get at UW-Oshkosh. I’m getting to know my professors very well, and we communicate a lot over e-mail. I got involved in the education club this year and got to know a lot more people that way.”
