“I love the educational studies program because of the authentic opportunity to focus on students' relationships to themselves, 他们的社区, and the world through the study and practice of leadership, 沟通, 反射, character development, and collaboration.”  

劳伦·斯图尔特 is a graduate of Principia Upper School and College. She joined the College faculty in 2010 after teaching at North Central Michigan College for nine years. She holds two master's degrees in education and an education specialist degree in curriculum and instruction, as well as a doctorate in curriculum and instruction. With her expertise in outdoor and experiential education, 斯图尔特 helped redesign the educational studies program as well as design the program's new outdoor and experiential theory and practice concentration. Having traveled to over 20 countries, 斯图尔特 shares her global and intercultural experiences in her on-campus courses and through study abroad programs. She has led five study abroad programs and has another one in the planning stages.
