BE INSPIRED! A Teacher's Story 
"At the end of April, the White House announced that Anthony Mullen, a special education teacher in Greenwich, Conn., had been selected as the 59th National Teacher of the Year. Mullen worked as a New York City police officer for 21 years before leaving the department in 2000 to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a teacher of students with special needs. Mullen is now a teacher at Greenwich’s ARCH School, an alternative high school. Many of his students have behavioral and emotional disorders and are often on their last academic stop when they reach him."
He will deliver the opening address for Teaching Career Day, 8:45-9:30 am on April 13 in the EUC Auditorium and a Special presentation for UNCG undergraduate students 10:30-11:30, EUC Auditorium.
