Undergraduate Spotlight
As a university laboratory school, we benefit from having undergraduate students participate in our school in myriad ways. From interns to student teachers to research methods students to student employees, our ongoing relationship with these students is mutually beneficial to all parties involved. Throughout the year, we will introduce you to these wonderful individuals. We feel very fortunate to be able to have them at our school each day!
November 2024: Suzy Switzer
Hi everyone! My name is Suzy Switzer and I am from Evanston, Illinois. I am a senior studying Literature and Culture, with an additional major in Psychology and a minor in Hispanic Studies.
Last semester, I was an intern in the Green Room through Dr. Carver’s Practicum in Child Development course. In this course, I applied developmental theory to the classroom as well as learned from the amazing educators at The Children’s School. I enjoyed my time so much that I wanted to return this year!
This semester, I have been so excited to continue working with many of the students I engaged with last semester as they transition to Pre-K/Kindergarten and get to know new friends. So far, I have enjoyed seeing and supporting the children’s growth and getting the chance to observe a different classroom. Outside of academics, I love reading, dancing, baking, and traveling! I’m so grateful The Children’s School has been a part of my CMU experience and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year!
