Special Projects

The four pillars of Dominican tradition are Study, Reflection, Service and Community, so scholarship is of particular importance to Dominican faculty.  The School of Education is constantly looking for scholastic opportunities for both faculty and students, and has been immensely successful in their pursuit.
