“Carlow’s Masters program was designed for adults like myself who worked full time while taking classes at night. The professors and advisors helped shape my teaching methods so I may guide my students to become critical thinkers. I experienced in class great scaffolding and leadership techniques from the professors. As a result, my students understand that I care for their well-being and not just their grades.”
— Meloni DiPietro-Guthoerl, MEd ’09
