About CEHD Reads

The Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning (PSTL) and the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) are building a year of education and events around the shared question:

Can one person make a difference?

As part of this process, the college community is joining our 2012-2013 first-year students in reading The Other Wes Moore, by Wes Moore. The featured book for CEHD Reads is a combined autobiography and biography.

The story is of two boys—both named Wes Moore—growing up in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and the very different paths their lives take.

As with past CEHD Reads books, The Other Wes Moore addresses the shared inquiry: Can one person make a difference?

We are eager to share the ways that we, as a college, make a difference through transformational research, top-quality education, and partnerships with our community beyond campus.

CEHD’s First Year Experience Program

The College of Education and Human Development offers a two-semester curriculum focused on the social, academic, and institutional needs of first-year students. This program builds intentional pathways to college by introducing students to ways of thinking in different academic disciplines, strategies for collaborating with others, and resources for discovering their own strengths. These transition tools are integrated into first-year curriculum, built around a First Year Inquiry course and Learning Communities.
