Faculty of Education Centennial 100

The Faculty of Education is honoured to share the impact our graduates and alumni have made in Memorial Univerisity's Centennial 100. The Centennial 100 celebrates students, alumni, faculty, staff and supporters who have made a world of difference at our university and who have helped our university make a difference in the world. Ms. Kanani Davis is being celebrated for her contributions as a Creator, the artists, teachers and thinkers who inspire us.  

Dr. Philip Warren started at Memorial in 1949, and returned to become part of the educational administrative department. He led the Royal Commission on Education and Youth, which became known as the Warren Report. The report recommended bold changes, including the consoldation of schools and districts, broadening curriculum, improving teacher qualifications, and building bigger and better-equipped schools. Dr. Warren was elected MHA for the District of St. John's North and named Minister of Education in 1989. He received the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025 for his contributions and commitment to Newfoundland and Labrador.

Education is a lifelong pursuit. 

Professionals with degrees in education work as teachers and post-secondary instructors, school and institutional administrators, curriculum designers, health care practitioners, student affairs and services practitioners, policy makers, and more.

Teaching and research changes lives, it affects people and can help communities grow. Our programs are cutting edge and focus on teaching and learning, continuing teacher education, educational counselling, adult and post-secondary instruction, policy and practice, and research.

There’s no better place than here for starting or continuing your journey of making a difference through Education.
