Mission College welcomes Dr. Veronica Allen, a new full-time faculty member, who will teach Education courses this Fall 2016. Dr. Allen is an educational psychologist who has taught Child Development courses for over nine years in higher education and has experience teaching school-age children.

Dr. Allen’s vision is to provide the new AA-T Degree to the local community as well as promote access to a streamlined pathway for transfer to a CSU.
