Dr. Vriesenga! May the Lord richly bless you as you enter this next phase in your life called retirement!

Dr. Vriesenga has served COEHD for 6 years. During which time he monitored all affairs relative to TEA accreditation and compliance in addition to providing faculty and students valuable assistance and support. We will miss Michael’s analytical skill and depth of knowledge and awareness of legislation and the policy environment. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Vriesenga and wishing him well on the next chapter of his journey.
