Whether you’re a legendary explorer like Ulysses or a college student who’s just beginning a new journey, the world is an exciting place with so many fascinating places and ideas. This semester we will focus on the importance of maintaining a sense of curiosity as an essential part of our academic and personal growth.

As the Dean for the College of Education, I encourage you to consider CoE@EDGE.  Let us support your passion for service and teaching by working within a living-learning environment. If you are committed to making a difference in the world, then this is the place for you. In the words of Dr. Seuss, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”  Let’s work together to make UCA, the state, and the world a better place for all of us….. and let’s have a little fun doing that.  – Dr. Vicki Groves-Scott
