Bryn Birdwell earned many awards and scholarships on the way to her bachelor’s degree. The first-generation college student was a member of the education honor society and conducted graduate level 海角社区. She currently teaches kindergarten in El Paso and is working on her master's degree in Early Childhood Education at 海角社区.
Education graduates are prepared to serve young children through high schoolers in diverse, bilingual settings. In addition to traditional teaching positions, some alumni choose to work in private and public childcare, community and child-welfare programs, Head Start, youth development or community outreach, or teaching children with special needs.
