Why did you join GECP?
The reason I joined GECP is because I wanted to give myself a challenge. After learning about what this program is, it made me more curious about what we will be learning looking from a global perspective.

What is your favorite book?
Troublemakers by Carla Shalaby

If you weren't planning to be a teacher, what job would you choose for yourself?
A Speech and Language Pathologist

Who is your favorite musician?
Harry Styles

Do you have any secret talents?
I can draw.

What's your favorite way to spend a rainy day?
I love to spend rainy days in my room drinking a cup of tea and doing homework.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?
The GECP program has changed my life, and I will forever be thankful for taking these courses. 
Here's a College of Education event that may be of interest to GECP students!

Did you leave a water bottle at the GECP Welcome Event in early October? Two very nice water bottles were found. Terry Yuncker in the TE department (room 313) is holding onto them. You can pick them up any weekday 7am-4pm.
