It was Gandhi who stated that:
We must be the change we want to see in the world.
At Iowa State University we are educating a new kind of leader. We are redefining leadership to make a difference in American education and ultimately the world. Our curriculum is tailored for students who wish to connect theory with practice, examine issues in new and different ways, explore traditional and nontraditional research methods to analyze and solve educational problems, and apply knowledge to make a difference. Welcome to the community of scholar/practioners striving to be the change we want to see in the world.
Welcome from the Department Chair
