We are a little over a month into the Fall 2025 semester, and our newest cohort is one of the largest groups we've had in recent years! This dynamic group brings a wealth of experience across disciplines within and outside of education. We are thrilled to have them with us and look forward to seeing their school psychology skills develop over the next three years!

TTU School Psychology doctoral candidate, Ugochi Iwuji, recently presented a poster at . Her preliminary data demonstrated her work training teachers in Nigeria via telehealth and Behavioral Skills Training. Ugochi demonstrated that this virtual training, which equips teachers with evidence-based interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder, is an effective means of training teachers in under-resourced areas of Nigeria.

What a week! The school psych students were on campus this week for summer intensive classes. They learned a lot, shared many laughs, and made core memories together. While a 100% online program would be convenient for many, it's times like these that remind us why face-to-face time is important. These in-person experiences cannot be replicated online, and this is one reason why we choose to be a hybrid program. We are all tired, but it was worth it to have quality time together.

(Somehow we didn't get many pictures of the 2023 cohort, but they were, in fact, there!)

They made it! This incredible cohort graduated yesterday with their master's degree. It was a bittersweet day, and we are so proud of each and every one of these ladies. Since their first semester in the program, this group has grown very close and supportive of one another. We are sad to see them leave us, but they are going to have such an impact on the students they serve. Welcome to the school psych life, and Wreck 'Em Tech! ❤️🖤
