Meet Todd Wallenius: Curriculum & Instruction Alumnus & Teacher and Counselor in Nepal
Todd Wallenius ('17), alumnus of the College of Education’s master’s degree in Education, Curriculum and Instruction shares his experience about the program.
Obtaining the master's degree has substantially boosted my confidence and credibility as an educator.
I am currently a teacher of English Literature and Theory of Knowledge in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Ullens School in Kathmandu, Nepal. I am also an Academic Counselor at Ullens School, working with graduating seniors to apply to universities abroad. Since I finished the C&I program, I completed the Intensive Nepali Language program at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and spent a month as an international scholar at Aarhus University, Danish School of Education in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Get to know your professors! They are a wealth of knowledge and can guide you into new opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Conducting research in Nepal for my master's thesis was the most memorable part of being a graduate student. I could never have predicted that this experience would change and shape my life so dramatically.
