Teacher Education Club

Our planned events are open to all students and faculty on campus and can benefit students enrolled in a variety of programs. The UWF Teacher Education Club has operated on the Fort Walton Beach branch campus since the spring semester of 2004. Since its founding, the club has worked to establish beneficial connections between the local education community and UWF students. This goal has been and continues to be accomplished through open monthly forums conducted on the FWB campus. Education community members and special guests are invited to present at our monthly meetings. UWF students enjoy learning about the diverse range of topics presented. The UWF Teacher Education Club maintains that it is important that UWF students are provided with opportunities to participate in student activities on our campus. The Teacher Education Club provides just such an opportunity for UWF/FWB branch campus students!
