Meet Chitranjan Greer-Travis

Earning his Ph.D. in Philosophy of Education

“I recalled my experience at The University of Toledo as a student in the Philosophy M.A. program. I was challenged and nurtured in the program in such a way that I wanted to ‘return to my roots,’ so to speak. In my quest to follow my dreams and live a bit more authentically, I gave graduate school some thought. Philosophy of Education appealed to me after falling in love with teaching philosophy. I also appreciate the social and political investigations that are investigated.”

Meet Terri Draper

'22, Bachelor of Education in Adolescent and Young Adult Education, Bachelor of Arts in English

“I want to bring Spanish language and literature to classes I teach in the future, so my students are exposed to other cultures and perspectives. I remember learning so much about American and white European literature in school. I think it would be better for students to hear about Latin American, African and other cultures earlier in their education.”
