I have loved being part of the COEDU at USF Sarasota-Manatee. Over the past two years, I've gained valuable experience in classroom settings and have also had the opportunity to join and be a leader in the Education Club. The professors at USF Sarasota-Manatee are very welcoming and genuinely committed to helping you feel confident and prepared for your future career as an educator.
