There's a nationwide shortage of teachers, in particular, secondary education teachers, and the Educate the State Initiative has been formed to help addresss that shortage. The new public-private agreement brings together Butler Community College, Cowley College, Friends University, Newman University and Southwestern College. By working together, the institutions have created a seamless and more affordable transfer option for Secondary Education majors. www.butlercc.edu, www.cowley.edu, www.NewmanU.edu.
