Student Organizations
The School of Education is proud of the initiative our students take to raise awareness and enact change on our campus and surrounding communities. Through various student-led organizations, our scholars remind us that our passion for education extends beyond the classroom.
Teachers of Tomorrow
Teachers of Tomorrow (TOT) is a student organization for future educators under the Mississippi Association of Educators (MAE). By being a member of MAE and TOT, you will not only get the insurance needed for student teaching and observing in the schools, but you will also receive the opportunity to be a part of a team at Ole Miss that works together to gain experience in the classroom and positively impact the lives of the students and families in the Oxford community.
The Kindness Club
Within the Kindness Club, we will work to spread positivity, celebrate inclusivity, and welcome diversity within the School of Education. Our mission is to create a community that fosters intentionality and random acts of kindness. Wecelebrate the achievements and resilience of individuals, but also create opportunities for members of the School of Education community to come together to connect through activities that promote a positive and inclusive atmosphere.
