“I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in grade school and always leaned toward the creative side of life. The professors in the department are the best around. UNK is known for its teachers. Several of my elementary, junior high and high school teachers were UNK graduates and people I looked up to. Perhaps most importantly, every single person I know who has graduated from UNK loves the school and is truly proud to be a Loper.”
