Message from the Dean
Education is a public good, essential to the health of our communities and the future of our society. Preparing the next generation of educators, school leaders, and mental health professional has never been more critical than it is today.
At LMU School of Education, we are dedicated to forming and inspiring ethical, conscientious, and responsive trailblazers who will change schools, districts, and organizations to meet the needs of the future. Guided by critical inquiry and social responsibility, we are uniquely positioned to lead in today’s world. Rooted in our Jesuit and Marymount traditions, we prepare educators and mental health professionals who are both skilled and guided by the principles of social justice and ethical leadership. We unite all education sectors—Catholic, independent, charter, and district—to create the schools our children deserve.
—Dean Estela Zarate, Ph.D.
