Sue Davis serves on the School’s Alumni Council. She and her
husband, Rod, were the first members of the School’s Dean’s
Leadership Council, which honors alumni and friends who lead by
example with their gifts to the School. “I support the School
of Education because it serves an important mission: to create
powerful mentors and educational leaders for our region. The
work of the School, particularly through its strong teacher
education program, touches thousands and thousands of lives.”
With scenes from Mr. Holland’s Opus still playing in her head,
Sue Davis (Credential ’73) approached her final year of teaching
the same way she begins every school year: with a determination
to “rethink and retool everything” to ensure that her students
learn.
Alumni Council Chair Establishes Endowment for Scholarships
Sandi Redenbach knows all teachers want to excel at their art,
and she believes preparation and a commitment to serving the most
challenging students are keys to great teaching. That is why she
has established an endowment in the School of Education to
support pre-service and in-service teachers.
