• Professional Development Opportunities: Participate in local events, regional and state conferences , and online professional development designed to help you stay connected and foster a sense of community among UTeach alumni.
• Honoring Our First UTeach Distinguished Alumni: We were thrilled to honor our first UTeach Distinguished Alumni at the UTeach Family Reunion last spring, celebrating their outstanding contributions to education and the impact UTeach graduates have on their communities.

In honor of World Teacher’s Day on October 5, 2024, with this year’s theme of “Valuing Teacher Voices,” we acknowledge the incredible impact educators like you have on students and the community. Your dedication and passion shape the future, and we are grateful for your contributions. We encourage you to stay connected with your UTeach family, sharing experiences and supporting one another as we continue this important journey together.
