Mamie Till-Mobley, MEd '71
As a lifelong educator, alumna Mamie Till-Mobley (MEd '71) used the transformative power of education to instill a sense of worth and purpose in her students, knowing each person could contribute to the fight for equality. Today, we continue her work of creating a more equitable and just world by memorializing her legacy with the founding of ÎçÒ¹AV's Black Alumni Board Mamie Till-Mobley Scholarship.

At ÎçÒ¹AV, we inspire educational leaders to solve systemic and universal challenges in our nation’s schools and communities. We believe the best approach is to immerse our students in practical, educational environments from the start. With 99% undergraduate employment placement by graduation and master's programs touting over 95% placement within three months of completion, it’s a proven model for success.
Graduates of ÎçÒ¹AV's School of Education can expect lasting relationships with each other and an extensive alumni network to support them throughout their career as they lead the way and serve as teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists, and policymakers.
