“So, we’ve got these beautiful Redbirds soaring in two different parts of the room. It’s meant to represent our Redbird educators that we are supporting and uplifting and sending out into the world to be excellent, thriving educators. We also have a poster by the front desk that has all the different program areas. Both graduate and undergraduate that we serve, and some other welcoming signs and art around the space,” Becky Beucher said.

In addition to this program, the center provides test preparation resources, alumni mentorship and more.
