Outstanding Alumni
Robert Hansen, Social Studies '12
I am a 2012 graduate of GVSU College of Education. I am currently
teaching Social Studies grades 6-8 at a middle school in the west
suburbs of Minneapolis. I think the biggest advantage I had entering
the workforce with my Social Studies degree was the confidence that
came with knowing I was fully prepared. Having been exposed to
teaching opportunities in a variety of settings and having the skills
to create authentic lessons for students with multiple learning styles
accelerated my ability to successfully transition from student to
classroom teacher. One of the things I did not anticipate happening,
but that has since proven to be incredibly helpful, is the ongoing
support I have received from my professors in the years since I have
graduated!
