School District Relies on Cumberland University

TICUA member institutions are vital to their communities. Our colleges and universities prepare students for thriving careers in high-demand fields, such as business, education, healthcare, and STEM.

School leaders in Lebanon, Tennessee know firsthand the positive influence TICUA members have on their cities, towns, and regions. Cumberland University consistently turns out talented teachers.

"Cumberland University produces exceptional teachers for the Lebanon Special School District. We rely on Cumberland's teacher preparation programs to produce exceptional candidates for all grades and specialty endorsement areas. In the past, they have provided important endorsements for our faculty and staff, filling a need in the Pre-K and English as a second language (ESL) areas in particular. Often, these are at no cost to our district, which is a big help to us.”

-Dr. Penny Thompson, Lebanon Special School District Pre-K Director
