Megan Singletary

Communicative Disorders & Deaf Education

A commonality between everyone in the College of Education & Human Services is a passion for helping people. Whether that is face-to-face, virtually, with kids, adults, or any kind of person in any walk of life, we love empowering others! This is why I love the college and why I am majoring in Communicative Disorders. Being able to give people the freedom of speech and communication is an incredible thing to be a part of, and the goal to be able to provide that power to people every day gives me so much purpose as I make my way through college. I love being an Aggie!

Nohemi Benitez Suarez

Human Development and Family Studies

I love the HDFS department here at Utah State! The Human Development and Family Studies classes are offered by some of the most caring and understanding professors on campus who genuinely want to see you succeed in life after college. I have learned that through HDFS there isn’t a simple route to take after college; there are endless possibilities when it comes to graduating in it. As frightening as it can be to not have a set path after college, as long as you are interested in learning about how we develop throughout our infancy and rest of our lives, ways to create a better family dynamic, or even guide families/couples through their finances, then you’re in the right department! The flexibility of this major has allowed me the chance to really explore my options and want to continue onto graduate school in the field of child services. I love Utah State for all the wonderful opportunities it’s given me and I’m proud to forever be an Aggie!  

Cooper Sanders

Human Experience Design & Interaction

The ITLS department here at Utah State is awesome! We get to hear how we can design aspects of our world to enrich lives! Human Experience Design and Interaction is such a great program because it can lead to so many different careers and opportunities. Our faculty and instructors are amazing and have a lot of real-world experience to pull from. There is no other program like it!

Luke Hayes

Kinesiology

The Kinesiology program at Utah State is fantastic. In addition to providing valuable classes that further understanding, they provide real opportunities to make connections in the community. I’m impressed by the in depth knowledge of the professors, and the care that they put in to helping each student achieve their personal goals.

Zaham Mahmood

Health Education and Promotion

The Public Health program at Utah State University focuses on equipping students with the knowledge and skills to promote public health in communities. Specializing in Health Education and Promotion, the program offers a comprehensive curriculum, flexibility, experienced faculty, and small class sizes to provide a supportive and collaborative environment for students. This is a great program for anyone wanting to pursue further education in public health.

Britta Howell

Nursing

The Utah State University Nursing Program is the absolute best! I love being able to learn from caring professors with years of experience in a variety of healthcare settings. USU offers smaller cohort sizes than surrounding programs, which allows students more opportunities and better relationships with peers and staff. With the support of the College of Education and Human Services, students in the program have access to state of the art simulation equipment, tons of supplies and guidance for practicing advanced skills in lab sessions as early as the second week of the program, and clinical opportunities from Cache Valley to Salt Lake City! I have loved being a part of this Nursing School and am proud to be an Aggie in the healthcare workforce! 

Marissa Searle

Psychology

I love the Psychology Department here at Utah State University! I've found that the professors really care about their students and will do everything they can to help them succeed. All of the faculty want to help students learn more about what they're interested in, so questions are always welcome in class. There's also a ton of opportunities to get involved with research with the professors as well! While studying Psychology here, you'll get a very in-depth understanding of how people work while also just having a ton of fun. I've loved every second that I've been a part of the College of Education and Human Services!

Lindsey Warburton

Elementary Education

From classes on Education of Students with Disabilities and Arts Method Courses to experiences with students and teachers in classrooms, USU has so much to offer to future teachers. USU offers one of the best Elementary Education programs in the state! I love collaborating with and learning from the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services’ experienced faculty. Working with students in classrooms as soon as my first year in the program has been one of my favorite parts of being a part of the Elementary Education program here at USU

Jaime Tellez Quiroz

Secondary Education--Social Studies

My passion lies in understanding the intricate tapestry of history and culture, and how these forces shape our world in profound ways. Being part of the Secondary Education major has afforded me the splendid opportunity to impart this passion to the next generation, guiding students to grasp the complexities of society and their own unique roles within it. What I find most exhilarating about my field of study is the chance to ignite curiosity and foster critical thinking among all our students. The journey at CEHS has been nothing but remarkable! This college provides a vibrant, supportive atmosphere to all our students, and it helps us nurture our growth as aspiring educators , nurses, psychologists, coaches, therapists and more! As my grandma says to me and everyone she meets, “Every step you take brings you closer to your goals! Keep moving forward because your hard work today is the foundation of your success tomorrow.” Go Aggies!!

Emerie Terry

Special Education

The Special Education program at Utah State is as good as it gets! It is truly a transformative experience where passion meets purpose. Our faculty work hard to offer their students with the best content and experiences to prepare us as future educators with the skills and knowledge needed to make an impact in the lives of students with diverse learning needs! With hands-on experience and opportunities to apply what you are learning into real life situations, you can be prepared to support all learners. Not only that, we are truly one big family! It is so fun being able to get to know the faculty and other students in the program. They are amazing! Come and join a fun community that is committed to excellence and leadership in special education, and help shape a brighter future for every child!
