Dr. Marcie Reuer and Dr. Joe Hicks had the pleasure of taking our rural practicum students to Glasgow, Frazer, Nashua and Hinsdale.  The students did an incredible job in the schools.  While we were in Glasgow, Dr. Joe Hicks and two of our students were interviewed by KLTZ (“kilts” as an homage to the town’s namesake).  Elizabeth Hickey and Pace Becker did an incredible job, and we could not be more proud of how they represented MSU and the profession of teaching as a wholeListen Here:The student stories are in the second half of the recording and are worth a listen.
