About the Curry School of Education:

The mission of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia is to prepare future leaders who are informed, imaginative, and committed to improving the practice of education. One of three major strands woven into the fabric of the curriculum at the Curry School is the effective utilization of instructional technology in education and training. For example, the innovative Virginia Public Education Network (Va PEN), developed by faculty, staff and students at the University of Virginia, allows educators across the state to communicate, access new instructional materials, and share their own materials and methods with others.

Facilities at the Curry School include computer laboratories, with Macintosh, Apple and IBM computers and interactive multimedia systems; an Ethernet linking faculty, staff and students and providing rapid access to school and university computer resources; a Video Production Studio, with 3/4" and 1/2" video production and editing equipment, a Media Production Lab with complete darkroom facilities for black and white as well as color slide photography; and an Education Library of 35,000 volumes supplemented by resources on microfiche and compact disc.

About the University of Virginia

The University of Virginia was founded by Thomas Jefferson in the early 1800's, and is consistently rated among the best public institutions in the country. In its Selective Guide to Colleges, the New York Times judged U.Va. as the nation's best public university and one of the three best overall. Dubbed a "public Ivy," the University has achieved national stature for its teaching, research, and public service.

Located in Charlottesville, Virginia, about twenty miles east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the area is known for its natural beauty and historical attractions. Residents of Charlottesville and surrounding Albemarle County, who number more than 100,000, enjoy a substantial range of cultural and recreational resources, including a community symphony orchestra, light opera company, art galleries, movie theaters and film series offerings, the homes of Thomas Jefferson (Monticello) and James Monroe (Ash Lawn), and a number of regional wineries. The surrounding countryside offers a pleasant environment for bicycling, hiking, canoeing, swimming, and skiing.
