Lauren Kostley, B.S., 2010

"Obtaining a teaching job today is very difficult, but because of Slippery Rock’s powerful teacher preparation program, I was able to secure a 5th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teaching position in the Canon McMillan School District, specifically Cecil Intermediate School. Not only did SRU teach me to become a caring, determined, and prepared teacher, it also produced long-lasting professional relationships. I felt completely prepared as I entered into the teaching profession, and for that I am eternally grateful."
