Saint Mary’s is excited to announce that it will once again host the Minnesota Character Awards on May 16, 2023. In partnership with Synergy & Leadership Exchange, Saint Mary’s will recognize schools and educational leaders from across the state with awards for Minnesota Ethical Leadership, Minnesota Promising Practices, Promising Principal, and Champion of Character.
As part of our university-wide focus on character and virtue education, Saint Mary’s welcomed James Arthur, Kristján Kristjánsson, and Andrew Peterson from the Jubilee Centre this fall.
Saint Mary’s in partnership with Synergy & Leadership Exchange hosted the Character Recognition Awards luncheon on May 17 on its Minneapolis campus. Six schools, leaders and community programs were honored in four different categories: Minnesota Ethical Leadership Award, Minnesota Promising Practices Award, Promising Principal Award, and Champion of Character.
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.
Dr. Klemmer, founder and president of Wisdom for Good and the National Academy of Advanced Teacher Education, holds degrees from the Harvard Business School, the Wharton School, and Salve Regina University.
