More Than You Expect

Made to Teach 2023 is more than a visit day. It’s a chance to get a sense of what it means to teach. The subjects you’ll explore. The faculty you’ll learn from.

Teaching is both a passion and a profession – with lots of options. Explore your possibilities with UNI Teacher Education at Made to Teach 2023.
