Nevada's 2021 Teacher of the Year

Not too long ago, we told you that alumna Juliana Urtubey was named Nevada's 2021 Teacher of the Year. Not only that, she is the first-ever Latino/a Nevada State Teacher of the Year. Urtubey earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 2009 and a master’s degree in special education in 2011 from the college. Now, the even bigger news: She’s among just four finalists for the 2021 National Teacher of the Year. We will know more by next month, and we will keep you posted. Good luck to our stellar alumna!
