Professional Development
At the root of our existence is the love of Christ, following the example set by St. Angela Merici when assembling her Company to educate women, and furthered throughout history by the Ursuline Sisters. With the support of UEN, our educators continue their work in the classroom through collaboration and professional development opportunities.
