Kudos: Alumna receives Leon Bradley Scholarship
Elaine Liu (B.S.Ed. ’20), an alumna in the College’s Department of Educational Theory and Practice, received a Leon Bradley Scholarship to continue her work in anti-racist education and promote well-being in elementary school classrooms.
The scholarship, provided by the American Association of School Personnel Administrators, was established to encourage more minorities and persons of color to enter the field of teaching and school leadership. Each year, two scholarships of $3,500 are awarded to assist a minority candidate seeking initial teaching certification endorsement.
“It first starts with educating yourself, which the College’s program does such a great job of doing,” Liu said, who graduated as a First Honor Graduate and Summa Cum Laude. “It’s uncomfortable, but you can’t grow unless you’re uncomfortable.”
