Welcome from Dean Michelle Knight-Manuel

Welcome to the Morgridge College of Education. I am honored to be a part of a dynamic community dedicated to engaging in groundbreaking research, fostering innovation, and preparing leaders in education, mental health, and information services and systems to address society’s greatest challenges. 

Through our outstanding programs and local and global partnerships, and our nationally known faculty, alumni, students, staff, and engaged community members, we are committed to excellence in research, teaching, service, and diversity, equity and inclusion to meet the needs of multiple, diverse communities.

You will find mentors who are passionate about creating a vibrant, collaborative, and culturally relevant environment. The constellation of these experiences and interactions within our community of learners will help you to accomplish your goals and provide you with a rich understanding of the real-world impact that you can have.
