to right are Vue Lor, elementary/TESOL education major; Jon Robbins, math education major; Tyler Koepke, WiTEACH adviser; and Matt Quade, elementary/math education major. Missing is Amy Graham, elementary/TESOL education major. The scholarships are intended
for WiTEACH Teacher Education students pursuing a degree in a “high need” field of education like science or math and for students from underrepresented populations in teacher education. This is the third consecutive year that the Xcel Energy Foundation has
partnered with the WiTEACH program to support the growing need for high quality teacher education candidates Submitted
