Student WEA

Tracy generously came and spoke to SWEA at our meeting on September 29th. She gave very useful information on the requirements for admission into the college of education. She also discussed information about the Praxis Core exam. If you missed this meeting or have questions, Tracy is a good person to ask. She can be reached via email at arnesont@uww.edu or in her office in Winther 2003.
