The William & Mary School of Education received the 2026 Frank Murray Leadership Recognition for Continuous Improvement from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). This prestigious award highlighting leadership, service and innovation was awarded to 22 providers.
During its fall 2025 review,the CAEP Accreditation Council approved William & Mary under CAEP's nationally recognized Teacher Preparation Standards. Providers seeking CAEP accreditation must show that they meet nationally recognized standards. According to CAEP, its review looks for evidence that graduates are prepared to be competent and caring educators, and that faculty and staff can use evidence to maintain and improve their programs.
"These providers meet high standards so that their students receive an education that prepares them to succeed in a diverse range of classrooms after they graduate," said CAEP President Christopher A. Koch. "Seeking CAEP Accreditation is a significant commitment on the part of an educator preparation provider."
The Frank Murray recognition, announced in September 2026, is a further honor tied to the results of the accreditation review. Recipients are selected from providers granted accreditation by CAEP at the initial level in the previous year. CAEP gives the honor to providers that earn accreditation with no stipulations or areas for improvement and demonstrate evidence and data trends in their review.
"This recognition means a great deal to the School of Education because it affirms our commitment to continuous improvement and to ensuring that our candidates receive the best preparation possible to effectively serve their students and communities," said Lindy Johnson, associate dean for academic affairs. "Like football, accreditation is a team sport! This recognition celebrates the collective efforts of our faculty, staff, candidates and community partners who work together to strengthen our programs and support student success."
In fall 2025, the School of Education received CAEP accreditation at both the initial-licensure and advanced levels. At the initial level, accredited programs that lead to licensure include the M.A.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, with concentrations in Elementary, Secondary, Special Education and Bilingual Education. At the advanced level, the PK-12 Administration, School Psychology, School Counseling and Reading Specialist programs also earned accreditation.
The national Frank Murray recognition is named after the founding president of the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC). Providers selected for this recognition advance excellence in educator preparation through purposeful use of self-study procedures and evidence-based reporting that assure quality and support continuous improvement to strengthen P-12 learning.
"We will prioritize strengthening our continuous improvement efforts through a systematic approach to maintaining and enhancing program quality," said Johnson. "Priorities will include collecting and analyzing meaningful data, using findings to inform improvements, and engaging faculty, staff, students and community partners in the process. We will also continue to develop and nurture mutually beneficial partnerships that strengthen our programs and support student and graduate success. This recognition affirms our commitment to continuous improvement while also reinforcing that quality is an ongoing process."
The School of Education's recognition places William & Mary among providers across the country whose accreditation reviews showed that commitment in their evidence and results. It also creates an opportunity to consider how preparation programs can best support educators and the students they will serve.

October 7, 2026
The College of Education (COE) is launching a new HyFlex master's program for the school counseling degree, improving accessibility for prospective students, especially those in rural areas, and better meeting the needs of Colorado and the nation overall.
The new program offers a hybrid course curriculum, with courses adapted and updated to reflect state legislation changes for Colorado School Counselorand American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Educator Preparation Programs (EPP), while also reducing the required hours from 60 to 48.
"The launch of our new HyFlex master's degree program in School Counseling reflects UCCS's commitment to providing both exceptional preparation for future counselors and flexible access for working professionals," said College of Education Dean Joe Wehrman. "Students will learn from highly qualified faculty with deep expertise in counseling, education, leadership, special education, and student support services. Through collaboration across programs, we are creating a richer learning experience that prepares counselors to address the academic, social-emotional, career, and mental health needs of students within today's complex school systems. This innovative program will help strengthen the pipeline of highly skilled school counselors needed by districts across the Pikes Peak region and rural Southern Colorado, ensuring more students have access to the support they need to thrive."
With institutions facing a severe shortage of school counselors, many districts have instead started employing staff with fewer credentials and qualifications, or contracted individuals that require a much higher cost. This leads to many challenges - those with less training may not be as equipped to handle matters regarding ethical practice, student mental health, crisis response, suicide prevention, academic and career planning, legal requirements and the delivery of comprehensive school counseling programs.
This new program option not only reduces the barriers for access and entry for potential school counselors, but also increases the workforce population for rural or underserved areas by allowing prospective students to remain in their communities while earning their degrees and uplift their local schools as trained counselors.

Fencing will reroute foot traffic around Utah State University's historic facility in preparation for an expansion and modernization of building systems.
By Andrea DeHaan |
LOGAN -- Beginning next week, visitors to Utah State University's main campus will notice something new near the Quad: temporary fencing signaling the start of a construction project expected to last through November 2028.
The fencing, scheduled to be erected on or after Oct. 14, is in preparationfor the full renovation of the Animal Science building, which includes an addition on the historic structure's north side. The project, designed by Method Studio, will not only prioritize modernization, including updates to HVAC systems alongside the building's elevator and restrooms, but will also marry historic preservation and improved seismic safety with significant upgrades to benefit the broader USU community.
Originally intended to house animal husbandry and veterinary science programs, the Animal Science building is the birthplace of Aggie Ice Cream, but it has served many uses over its near 110-year history.
According to university records, it was constructed between 1917-18 with government funds appropriated to USU for military trainee barracks and was temporarily used as a convalescent hospital during the Spanish Flu pandemic. The Animal Industry Department was allowed to reclaim the space in 1920. Since 2012, the building has been home to USU's Mathematics and Statistics Department.
Professor John Stevens, department head, said the renovation would create "expanded space for the Aggie Math Learning Center (AMLC) that provides highly utilized drop-in tutoring for students in Logan and statewide in math & stat courses taken by essentially every major, a research lab for the Data Science and AI Center -- a joint venture among multiple campus units -- and modernized research collaboration spaces for faculty and students."
The first stage of the construction project is to relocate underground utilities. Crews will place fencing on the west and north sides of Animal Science from the Eccles Science Learning Center to the Geology building. Pedestrians will be able to pass by the site on the west side of the building by traveling on existing walkways adjacent to the ESLC. Pedestrian access between Animal Science and Geology to the Quad will be blocked.
While the utility work is likely to be concluded before the end of the year, additional fencing to the east and south of the building will be placed in January and extend onto the pavement on the north side of the Quad.
"We understand that this is a major disruption to central campus but feel that this plan will preserve the safety of faculty, staff, students, and construction personnel during this period," said Tom Graham, project architect/manager for USU Facilities Planning, Design, and Construction.
The College of Arts & Sciences' Math & Stats Department main office was relocated to the third floor of Old Main over the summer. Students needing help with math and statistics are advised to visit the AMLC in its temporary location on the fourth floor of Merrill-Cazier Library. Additional information about department programs and locations during construction can be found on the Math & Stats moving page.

Scientists are launching a major new research project to help protect UK food security from bacterial plant diseases that are spreading across parts of continental Europe.
The joint Government and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)-funded project, led by Keele University, will help farmers and growers prepare for potential future outbreaks before the diseases become established in the UK.
The diseases are spread by sap-feeding insectsknown as planthoppers and are already affecting crops in parts of Europe, causing reductions in yields and quality. While the planthopper species involved are present in the UK, the diseases themselves are not currently believed to be established here. Researchers say this provides an opportunity to improve preparedness and reduce future risks.
The four-year project brings together experts from eight research organisations, to investigate emerging bacterial diseases that threaten economically important crops, including potatoes, sugar beet, carrots and grapevines.
Led by Professor James Bell of Keele University, the consortium includes researchers from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), Fera Science, Rothamsted Research, and the Universities of Exeter, Gloucestershire, Warwick and York.
Researchers will examine a disease system involving two species of planthopper that can transmit five bacterial diseases between crops and wild plant hosts. The project will explore the biological, ecological, economic and social dimensions of these emerging threats and develop new tools to improve understanding, monitoring and risk assessment.
Professor James Bell, project lead and Professor of Entomology at Keele University, said: "Novel combined bacterial plant infections are rapidly spreading across Europe. These complex plant diseases are compromising grapevine, sugar beet, potato and carrot crops on the continent but are currently thought to be absent from the UK.
"We have an opportunity to prepare for this potential epidemic threat by developing tools and methodologies to better understand both the insect vector - a planthopper - and the disease complex it carries.
"We have assembled an expert team spanning the agricultural, biological, ecological, economic, mathematical, statistical and social sciences. Together, we will address critical knowledge gaps and develop the evidence needed to help mitigate these bacterial infectious diseases, strengthening the UK's food security."

The project will engage with Defra to support plant health policy development and risk assessment.
Dr Trisna Tungadi, co-project lead and lecturer in Plant Health at Keele University, said: "The significance of the E-Prep II project is that insect-vectored bacterial plant diseases are much less well understood than insect-vectored viral diseases.
"Planthoppers, which can transmit these bacterial pathogens, are already present in the UK, so this project gives us an important opportunity to better understand the potential risks and ensure we are prepared for these emerging disease threats."
The consortium will generate new scientific knowledge and practical tools to help farmers, growers, industry stakeholders and policymakers respond to emerging plant health threats before they become established in the UK.
The project is one of 18 new research and innovation projects receiving a share of more than PS54 million in public investment. The investment is coordinated through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), with co-funding from partners including the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC).

KENNESAW, Georgia, Oct. 8 -- Kennesaw State University posted the following news release:

Engineering student uses NASA data to study distant star systems
*
Kennesaw State University electrical engineering student Thi Tran never imagined herself conducting astronomy research. Now, she is using data from a NASA satellite to help researchers distinguish distant planets from stars that can produce nearly identical signals.
Tran, who is originally from Vietnam, is studying observations from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS. The satellite monitors stars and looks forrepeated dips in brightness that may occur when a planet passes in front of one.
"When an object goes in front of the star, it blocks a little bit of the light and causes a dip in the brightness that we observe," Tran said. "If that dip repeats over and over, there might be a planet orbiting that star."
The challenge is that binary star systems can produce similar signals. When two stars orbit one another and one passes in front of the other, the change in brightness can resemble the pattern created by a planet. Tran's research focuses on determining which type of system researchers are observing.
Making that distinction can save astronomers valuable telescope time while also providing useful information about binary stars. Researchers can study those systems to estimate characteristics such as the stars' masses and sizes.
"By understanding other stars, we will know more about the sun, and where it is in its lifetime or what we expect to happen when it evolves," Tran said.
Tran moved to the United States in 2020 and studied English and mathematics at Gwinnett Technical College before professors encouraged her to pursue electrical engineering. She transferred to Kennesaw State in 2024 and enrolled in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology.
Although the project centers on astronomy, Tran said it connects closely to her electrical engineering studies. She analyzes light curves and graphs showing how a star's brightness changes over time and looks for repeating patterns using skills similar to signal processing in her major.
Research, however, was initially unfamiliar territory.
"At first, I didn't think that I was capable of doing research at all," Tran said. "But now, after two semesters, I get the idea that research is a learning process. It's not about solving the problem at first sight."
One of the project's biggest lessons came after Tran and her research team spent months analyzing a star system that produced confusing results. Their model suggested characteristics that did not make sense together, prompting them to investigate further.
They eventually discovered that the signal they were studying was coming from a different star than they initially believed.
"The challenge of this research is that we don't know the answer," Tran said. "Even if there are published papers talking about it already, we still have to study it further."
Tran credits Associate Professor of Physics David Joffe with encouraging her to pursue research and helping her work through difficult questions.
"Thi has shown tremendous curiosity, persistence and a willingness to work through difficult problems," Joffe said. "She has grown tremendously as a researcher, and her ability to bring her engineering background into this project has made her an important part of our work."
Tran has submitted a manuscript based on the research to a journal and is awaiting review. She said the project has opened her eyes to opportunities she had not previously considered.
"A year ago, I didn't know anything about research or the opportunities KSU could bring," Tran said. "Now I know research is a learning process, and I'm excited to see where it can take me."
