Steve and Mary Jane Smith know firsthand that out-of-the box experiences pre-service teachers have are often transformative, providing confidence, and a larger global view prior to their student teaching year. That is why they  are proud to sponsor the College of Education’s Teach Abroad program. Funds raised help underwrite the costs associated for travel to Bangalore, India to participate in a six-week total immersion experience.

With their very generous gift, Steve and Mary Jane challenge each of you to support  Mizzou Ed Teach Abroad and help to make our new teachers the best prepared when they enter the workforce.
