by communications@education.illinois.edu (Communications Office) / Jun 2, 2021

Our sincere gratitude and appreciation go out to Professor Micki Ostrosky for her many years of service as head of the Department of Special Education. While Dr. Ostrosky is stepping down from this role, she will remain committed to her outstanding scholarship within the department.

Following an internal search, and with the recommendation of the Special Education faculty, Dean Jim Anderson has announced that Dr. Hedda Meadan-Kaplansky has accepted the offer to serve as Head of the Department of Special Education beginning July 16, 2021.
