3 Alumni Snapshot Natalia Cruz-Santiago 07 Teacher, Brookside School and 2006 winner of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowship for Aspiring Teachers of Color When I was in school, I didn t see as many teachers who reflected the diversity of the student body. So it was important that I become a teacher. I still want to change the world. A leader in bringing the technology of today into the classroom. As the only university in the Northeast using TeachLivE technology, a mixed-reality teaching environment that uses avatars to support teacher practice, our students gain confidence and skills before they even enter the classroom. Pace is also one of the few schools in the region that offers advanced degrees and certificates in educational technology, so you can use technology to empower your students and yourself. Unique technology programming, plus curricula that integrates the arts and sciences, community partnerships, school-based field experience, and research-based courses, ensure you ll be ready to help shape the students and leaders of the future. Pace creates educators who help change the world by making a difference in their communities, in their schools, and the lives of their students. {Hatsue Masuyama 14, Childhood Education and English} always knew teaching was her calling.
