Paul Azen graduated from Concordia University, St. Paul as a double major with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and a Bachelor’s in K-12 Leadership in 2010. He is now a Special Education Coordinator at Harvest Best Academy in Oakdale, Minnesota.
Azen experienced a high level of preparation for his career through the support of CSP faculty. “The education department really supported me and pushed me to be the best educator I could be.”
Azen pointed to the inclusiveness he felt within the small school community when choosing CSP. “When I was going for my teaching degree I really enjoyed the small class sizes. For my K-12 leadership, CSP just felt like home.”
Azen viewed one factor as the most valuable resource that CSP provided him: “That the faculty truly believed in me.”
