"Through the MEd in Reading Program, I have become a more competent educator and advocate for reading education. Classes are designed around practical experiences and involve hands-on learning of important concepts. The professors’ encouragement was the foundation of my success in the program."
"As a student from St. Lucia, my MEd in reading equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate change in my country in the area of reading. Not only did I gain knowledge, but also I developed new ties. The faculty and staff at Lynchburg College became my extended family. They were very supportive and always willing to assist."
