Ge joined ICD in the fall of 2006. He was an exceptional scholar and a dedicated educator. He was a wonderful addition to Child Development and he will be missed by all who knew him.

CEHD News is a collaboration between various units within the College of Education at the University of Minnesota.

Formerly "CEHD Inside/Out," CEHD News seeks to keep a constant stream of information flowing about the ongoing work of faculty, staff, and students at CEHD. This work is accomplished by various persons housed in departments and centers in CEHD.

Q: What are those links I see directly below "CEHD Inside / Out Feed"?

A: Those links are RSS feeds for each of the College's departments. So, if you wanted, you could choose which departments' news you wanted to subscribe to via RSS feed and which you didn't. But since this is a college where we celebrate multidisciplinarity, I recommend that you subscribe to both the main RSS feed and your department's feed, to make sure you're getting all the latest and greatest news for the entire College.
