I will be attending the University of California, Irvine, this fall to begin a Ph.D. program in Education with an emphasis on Digital Learning and Media. I seek to identify the ways computer technologies may be used to address the needs of learners + teachers and improve educational opportunities for all.

Courtney Spears will pursue a Master of Science degree in healthcare systems engineering at  LMU.
