Student Spotlight: Meet Taylor Lemieux! đź’š

Taylor, a student in UND’s EFR MS in Educational Studies program, helps young learners connect with local rivers and watersheds as a Watershed Education Program Coordinator at the International Water Institute. There, she leads the River of Dreams Program, bringing watershed education to life through hands-on learning.

“I chose to pursue an MS in EFR to build my skills and learn new ways to improve watershed education as someone who didn't come from a traditional education background.”

For her master’s project, Taylor is writing a children’s book that blends adventure with watershed education, helping young readers understand why watersheds matter and how they connect to everyday life.

Her work shows how the program supports people from a wide range of backgrounds in deepening their impact through education.

What makes a positionality statement meaningful?

Join Qual.Lab’s Midday Methods Seminar, “Researcher Positionality,” to explore how these statements can move beyond listing identities to explaining how researchers’ perspectives shape their interpretations.

We’ll examine real examples and walk through a practical rewrite. Bring a current or past positionality statement if you’d like to workshop it live!

Friday, Dec. 4, 2026
Noon–1 p.m.

Continuing our efforts to connect classroom learning with community resources, students in RHS 350: Overview of Disabilities recently visited North Dakota Vision Services/School for the Blind in Grand Forks!

Ken Dockter, Adult Services Coordinator, welcomed our students and introduced them to assistive technologies, adaptive strategies, and services for individuals who are blind or have low vision. The visit gave students an opportunity to connect what they had learned about visual impairments and their functional implications with real-world examples of accessibility and independence.

A big thank you to Ken and North Dakota Vision Services/School for the Blind for welcoming our students and sharing their knowledge and resources. We truly value our community partnerships and the learning opportunities they provide for our future helping professionals!

✨ Student Spotlight ✨

Earning a degree in Early Childhood Education, Mabel Babot knew UND was right for her. "I liked that I could complete the program online while still getting hands-on experience in classrooms." Mabel enjoys watching children learn and seeing their personalities grow. Along with wanting a career that makes a difference, she is excited to become a Pre-K teacher.

Mabel is currently student teaching in a Pre-K classroom with 4-year-olds. She gets to lead morning routine, work in small groups, help with transitions, and teach some of her own lessons. "It has been really fun getting to know the students and seeing what I've learned in my classes actually being used in the classroom."

She has appreciated all the hands-on learning and classroom experiences that are built into the program. "I'm really grateful for everything I've learned through UND's ECE program. It has helped me grow and has given me so many opportunities to gain experience working with children. Being able to actually work with children while going through the program has helped me feel more prepared for becoming a teacher."

The Rehabilitation and Human Services (RHS) program was delighted to welcome back Rachel Frey, an RHS graduate and current Drop-In Program Operations Manager at the LISTEN Center, as a guest speaker in RHS 350: Overview of Disabilities!

Rachel shared the wonderful work being done at the LISTEN Center to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through community inclusion, self-advocacy, social connections, and opportunities for greater independence. Her presentation helped students connect what they have been learning about disabilities, their impact on daily life, and the importance of individualized support with the services and opportunities available in our own community.

A big thank you to Rachel and the LISTEN Center for sharing their time and knowledge and for the wonderful work they do to support individuals with disabilities in our community! We are so proud to see our RHS graduates making a difference!

✨ Student Spotlight ✨

A double major in Secondary Education and Mathematics, Isaac Strom knew UND was "an easy option" after growing up in Grand Forks. He always heard great things and decided to make wonderful memories for himself.

Isaac wanted to go into math education because he "was inspired by one of [his] high school math teachers to be able to teach kids to love math". And now, Isaac is completing his student teaching semester via the teacher authorization route giving him "great experience to jump straight into teaching and have [his] own classroom."

The professors have been the best part of the program, according to Isaac. They have provided clear instruction on what it takes to be an effective teacher and shared resources to build strong habits and skills.

Another UND highlight, Isaac has been involved in UND Chi Alpha campus ministries that helped him build lifelong friendships and strengthened his faith. It also gave him the opportunity to go on a mission trip!
