Allison Dowling is now concluding her education at Keystone College to teach art. By navigating our program she will be certified to teach art in the state of Pennsylvania and in many other states who share similar qualifications for teaching art. She looks forward to her final semester of student teaching. Alli is, first, a very positive, energetic, and fine artist. With art as her foundation and with the combination of many other academic courses, particulary Education and art education courses, she will go out into the education field with a strong interdisciplinary degree in art education to her credit. Allison is a leader at the college level as Chairperson of the Keystone College Student Chapter of the Pennsylvania Art Education Association. She is also a leader in attitude and spirit, encouraging all who come in contact with her to succeed. I honor her, her work as an artist, and her future work as an art educator. Please view an example of one of her prints from this past year.

Hi Dave! I just happened to come across this tonight and was so delighted that it brought tears to my eyes. You have been a strong back bone for me as my years at Keystone have helped me grow. Thank you for being my academic adviser and encouraging me to follow my dreams. No one ever hands you a golden ticket that says you are to be an art teacher and I wasn’t always sure I was making the right decision. With your wisdom and experience, you helped me keep my thoughts on the right track. Thank you for all that you have done for me!

Ali,
It has been my honor. I hope current students and future Keystone College students see this and understand that the faculty at Keystone are in it for more than the money. It is a wonderful thing to see our students accomplish their goals. Good luck with your semester as you student teach.
Dave
