BW boost toward a "successful transition"
The MAEd program at BW afforded Irwin many opportunities which helped prepare her for her new role. "The school leadership internship at BW truly set the stage for my future success," Irwin shared. "Through the various projects, I expanded my background knowledge of my institution, shifted how I was perceived by parents, faculty and administration, and developed my ability to lead other educators.
"The skills and knowledge I gained through the internship set me apart from other candidates and ultimately led to my successful transition into administration," said Irwin.
