When Benjamin Denga came to the University of Alberta in 2016 to pursue his master of education degree, he wanted to get oriented to campus. But as someone with a degree in business administration who had already pursued a decade-long career in educational training and development, this meant more than wayfinding and sussing out the best place for coffee. Denga wanted to learn as much as he could about the community he would be joining.

We spoke with Reagan Morris (she/they) about her experiences in the Faculty of Education!

Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hi! My name is Reagan and I am a second-year Elementary Education student. I am hoping one day to be a guidance counselor and to focus on 2SLGBTQ+ youth. I am the faculty rep for both Student Council and General Faculties Council. I have been a volunteer this past year on the Education Students’ Association’s professional development committee. I am extremely excited to become a teacher and part of that is because of this Faculty!
