Cindy Gissy, associate professor of education, and Cindy Kelley, chair of the Education Division and professor of education, have been selected to present "Mentoring the Mentor: Training Mentor Teachers in Professional Development Schools" at the Hawaiian conference Jan. 4-7, 2005.

The conference also provides a place for professionals with cross-discipline interests related to education to meet and interact with other professionals outside their particular interests.

WVU Parkersburg offers a bachelor of arts degree in elementary education and an associate degree in early childhood education.
