The school of education will host a Summer Institute for students in the Education Specialist (Ed.S.) program June 16 and 17 on its Minneapolis campus. The inaugural Summer Institute occurred last year and over 70 educators attended to participate in a variety of presentations including an introduction to a virtue-based approach to professional ethics for educational leaders.
