Meet the Dean
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Education and Social Work (CESW), where it is our mission to prepare
highly-skilled and ethical professionals to become fair-minded critical thinkers and

within their professions. The CESW fosters a culture of reflection, evidenced-based practices, intellectual
discourse, and respect for human diversity. The CESW empowers students to make a significant
impact on the world to improve individual and family lives and strengthening educational,

Spotlight on CESW new Associate Dean
Welcome Dr. Maria Earman Stetter, as the new Associate Dean of the College of Education and Social Work. Dr. Stetter comes to West Chester University after having spent 25+ years working in the Chicago Public Schools system and at Roosevelt University in Chicago. As a Special Education Teacher, who worked with adolescents with learning disabilities and emotional disturbance, she used her background in theatre to help engage them and motivate their learning. She noticed that her students struggled with reading and that was what led her to pursue her doctoral studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Read more about the spotlight...
