Dr. Carrie Dale is an associate professor at Eastern Illinois University. She teachers both undergraduate and graduate level courses, with a particular emphasis on entry-level courses. ELE 3050 is a service-based course that has a 30-hour volunteer field requirement as part of the course. The students learn about community support for children in the classroom, including presentations from a wide variety of speakers, and then go out into the community to experience it. Like many things, however, this course has been impacted by the pandemic.

She is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and was a student in Dr. Dale’s ELE 3050 class this past semester, fall 2020. She is an active participator in her classes, loves to write and considers herself a lifelong learner. She is from Weldon, IL and participates in the Panther Marching Band here at Eastern.
