College of Education

We have recently experienced flooding in Mashburn Hall that caused damage to the offices in the Departments of Teaching and Learning, Leadership Studies, and Psychology. These office suites will remain closed until repairs are complete, which may extend through the semester. Please do not enter these areas.
In the interim, the following temporary office locations have been established:

Teaching and Learning: Dr. Freed (Mashburn 134), Ms. Suits (Mashburn 150C), and Mr. Ward (Mashburn 150C)
Leadership Studies: Dr. Whittingham and Ms. Escamilla (Mashburn 230)

Several classrooms were also affected. Classes held in Mashburn 115, 231, and 233 have been relocated. Students should contact their instructors for updated room assignments. Faculty who hold office hours in the affected spaces will conduct them virtually. In-person meetings can be scheduled, with locations to be determined. We are working to restore phone service in the temporary offices and will provide updates once the lines are active.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we address these disruptions.
