Dean's Remarks
Belated February Greetings!
The shortest month of the year is packed full with many celebrations and opportunities for learning. I thought I’d bring you along on my virtual education as I sought to increase my knowledge of some key celebrations – mostly serious and a few whimsical. Happy February!
- Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme (www.history.com). This year’s theme is Black Health and Wellness and I learned much at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture website. I encourage you to explore and learn alongside me!
- The Lunar New Year launched on February 1 as the Year of the Tiger...

| February is Black History Month -- we not only recognize and pay tribute to the adversities experienced by those who laid the groundwork for representation, equality and freedom, but we also celebrate the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. Read on to see how these African American educators revolutionized the world of academia.

Sponsored by The Helen and Will Webster Foundation and Azusa Pacific University (APU), the Keeping History Alive and Bringing STEM to Life grant programs offer mini grants to assist teachers of history and STEM subjects throughout Los Angeles County.
Due to the generosity of the Helen and Will Webster Foundation, we were able to award 118 grants this year -- 58 for Keeping History Alive and 60 for Bringing STEM to Life! CONGRATULATIONS to all of the grant recipients, including an APU Educational Leadership alumnus, Gilbert Navarro, '03! We look forward to celebrating all of the winners during a virtual reception at the end of this month.

"I love being a part of the APU School of Education because I feel confident that my graduate students enter into their careers truly ready to be the professional school counselors and school psychologists that God intended them to be. I have seen my students launch into their professions and become difference makers who keep God first."
