There is always a need for great teachers in the UP, and Bay College is building new support and opportunities for current and future K-12 education majors. We are happy to announce the hire of Penney Parmet as the K-12 Education Coordinator. Penney is a long-time K-12 educator in the UP and has completed her doctoral coursework and exams in education at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to these accomplishments, Penney has been an award-winning education and communication instructor at Bay College for many years.

In her role as K-12 Education Coordinator, Penney will continue to teach education courses while also helping to create new curriculum, support students in transfer opportunities, and work to build professional development opportunities for education majors. One exciting opportunity that Penney has already created is opening of a Bay College Aspiring Educators’ Club.
