Coker-Kolo Re-elected to AMLE

Dr. Doyin Coker-Kolo has been elected to a second term as East Region Trustee on the board of trustees of the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE). Coker-Kolo is currently associate dean of the School of Education at Millersville.

According to Coker-Kolo, “To whom much is given, much is required. Being an AMLE trustee provides me with the opportunity to collaborate with educators who are passionate and diligent in promoting research and best practices in middle-level education with the ultimate goal of making a difference in the lives of young adolescents. Being an AMLE trustee is about service and advocacy.”

Members of the AMLE board serve a critical role in setting the strategic plan of the association and advocating for policies and practices that guarantee a quality education for all young adolescents.

“We are pleased to have Dr. Coker-Kolo continue her service on the AMLE Board as we engage in the important work of making a difference in the lives of students,” said AMLE Executive Director William Waidelich.  Coker-Kolo has been at Millersville University for six years.
