Dean’s Annual Report: 2023-2024

A Message From Dean Farzin Madjidi

The Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) remains steadfast to its vision of academic excellence guided by its Christ-centered mission, with a global presence and a deep commitment to belonging and stewardship. We encapsulate that vision as the cover of Time magazine as the best graduate school of the year where our students, faculty, staff and broader community are committed to transforming lives to make a difference. A place where we not only meet our objectives but exceed them in every way.

The Dean's Report for the 2024 - 2025 academic year reports our progress toward that vision. It focuses on celebrating the stories and accomplishments of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Through these narratives of perseverance, resilience, innovation, and leadership, the essence of our collective excellence is brought to life.

Within this report, you will find a showcase of unique journeys and impactful contributions from every corner of our GSEP community. It is a testament to our shared dedication, our pursuit of growth, and our unwavering commitment to transforming lives through education and psychology.

I invite you to explore these pages and witness the profound impact GSEP has made. Together, we continue to build a brighter future — one that reflects the core values of academic distinction, faith-driven purpose, and a global mindset. 

With gratitude,

Farzin Madjidi (MBA 88', Ed 91')
