Urban Learning - Get Connected
Meet the Team
Dr. Calli Lewis Chiu
Director of the Urban Learning B.A.
Greetings! I was a public-school teacher for 11 years, first as an elementary art teacher, next as an art teacher for students with significant disabilities, then as a middle school special education teacher. I left teaching in 2010 to pursue a Ph.D. full-time and have been in higher education since 2013. I have been at Cal State Fullerton since 2018. We are so excited to welcome you to the program and support you along your journey to become an advocate who transforms education! Please reach out with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you!
