Do you recognize these photos? We are keen to hear if you do. Please share below!
We hope you'll join us in taking a trip down memory lane as we approach our faculty's 50th anniversary!
2024 marks 50 years since the Faculty of Education was established and 2025 will mark 50 years since we conferred our first Western University degree.
Were you with us before Western took over the Education program? We know many of you helped lay the foundation of our faculty, leading the charge as our Education Pioneers.
No matter when you graduated, we encourage you to send us your memories using the button below. Bonus points if you can tell us the story behind the photos above, which are from our 1968 yearbook, back when we were known as the London Teachers' College!
