On June 9, 2026, the University of Washington College of Education came together to celebrate the Class of 2026 in a joyful and inspiring graduation ceremony led by Dean Mia Tuan. The event honored more than 700 graduates marking a significant milestone for a class defined by perseverance, purpose, and a deep commitment to serving others.
We had the chance to sit down with Dr. Manka Varghese, Program Director for the Language, Literacy and Culture Program, who shared her journey into multilingual education and offered insights into how the program prepares educators to work with diverse linguistic and cultural communities.
