VALLEY CITY, N.D. (VCSU) – Valley City State University’s award-winning education department is hosting a pair of day-long events for high school students considering a teaching career.

Tomorrow’s Teachers Visit Days are scheduled for Oct. 30 and Nov. 13 on the VCSU campus. High school students interested in elementary education or secondary education careers are invited to attend one of the visit days. They will have the opportunity to attend education classes with current university students, take a campus tour, enjoy an on-campus lunch in the Student Center, and visit with students currently enrolled in VCSU’s education programs.

“This is a great opportunity for high school students to truly experience a day in the life of education majors at VCSU,” said Allen Burgad, Dean for the VCSU School of Education. “We want students to get a realistic experience on their visit as they decide if VCSU and teaching are in their future.”

Students interested in attending one of the Tomorrow’s Teachers events are asked to pre-register at https://www.vcsu.edu/admissions/visit/

The Visit Day runs from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. VCSU will donate a $500 scholarship to the school district sending the highest number of students to the event.

Valley City State is a regional leader in teacher education and awards more bachelor’s degrees in education than any other university in the state. At latest count, there are 1,526 VCSU alumni working as teachers or administrators in 346 North Dakota schools.

VCSU’s McCarthy Hall is currently undergoing a $13.5 million renovation and when completed next fall it will be the new home for VCSU’s School of Education with modern classrooms and labs, and the latest technology needed to train future teachers.
