Spotlight: Veronica Dean, College of Education University Supervisor and SPCA Humane Education Manager
“I am Roni Dean and I am a College of Education University Supervisor. I enjoy my position working with practicum students and student teachers. My passion is working with animals and teaching humane education. Yes, I am the Humane Education Manager with the SPCA. It’s a voluntary position. The SPCA celebrated 150 years in 2023. To celebrate the milestone, I was challenged to visit 150 classrooms teaching humane education and the SPCA history. I visited 154. For 2024, I want to accomplish the following: increase the awareness of humane education; increase the number of classroom visits; recruit more volunteers for the SPCA; and raise more funds to find homes for shelter animals or help families keep their animals at home.”
