Meet the 2020-21 Mary Jane Patterson Scholars

The College of Education welcomes the second cohort of the Mary Jane Patterson scholars. This year’s scholars, Markel Cooper, Martel Cooper, Jordyn Helaire, Tiffany Moore, Shirley Palomino, and Dwight Scorza are earning credentials in math, social science, physical education, and multiple subjects.

Established in 2019 as part of the Teachers for Urban Schools Initiative, the Mary Jane Patterson Scholarship was created to support and recruit future teachers in the College of Education  who are committed to improving life outcomes for students in urban schools and who reflect the demographics and shared lived experiences of students in our local schools.
