LMU School of Education coming through!

Last night, the LMU Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice hosted its annual hooding ceremony for Cohorts 18 and 19. This special event for our Ed.D. students, who will walk in LMU’s graduate commencement exercises on Sunday, May 5, has become a beloved tradition since it was launched in 2021.

In her address to the graduates, Brandi Avila, Ed.D.
‘24, spoke of the Zulu term “sawubona,” meaning “I see you.” During an era when programs that protect our most vulnerable and at-risk students are being scrutinized, ridiculed, and erased, being seen and celebrated is of critical importance to anyone working in education or being educated. “When you saw me, you brought me into existence,” she said.

*We see you*, Ed.D. graduates. We will always see you.
You belong to us; you belong to one another. We are so excited to see what you’ll do next and we extend to you our most heartfelt congratulations.

Congrats to soon-to-be SOE alumna Iliana Chen '24, an education and learning sciences major, on being named a finalist for the prestigious Fulbright Program!
