VCSU Hosting 2026 Tomorrow’s Teachers Visit Days
High School Students Interested in Teaching Invited to Oct. 28 and Nov. 18 Events
REGISTER FOR TOMORROW’S TEACHERS DAYS
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (VCSU) – Valley City State University’s nationally recognized School of Education is hosting a pair of Tomorrow’s Teachers Days during the 2026 fall semester, giving high school students an inside look at VCSU’s teacher education programs.
High school juniors and seniors who are considering a career in education are invited to attend the day-long events on either Wednesday, Oct. 28, or Wednesday, Nov. 18. The events run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day.
Students who are interested in elementary education and secondary education careers can meet professors and attend education classes with current VCSU students, tour campus and the recently renovated School of Education, and visit with current students enrolled in VCSU’s education programs. Lunch at the Student Center will also be provided.
“We want students to gain an authentic, hands-on perspective of the teaching profession and our program,” said Joan Klein, interim dean for the VCSU School of Education. “They’ll have an opportunity to hear from our current teacher education majors and experience both the joys and rewards of the classroom as they consider education as a future career pathway.”
Students interested in attending one of the Tomorrow’s Teachers events are asked to pre-register on VCSU’s website. Those who attend the event will have a chance to receive a $500 scholarship to VCSU.
