MDS Mission and Goals:

We trust that your MDS experience will be a valuable one. You will leave with more knowledge about your style, how to practice it, and how to teach it. It is the mission of the MDS program to have a pervasive, positive, and unifying effect throughout UFAF on what and how we learn and teach; to inform, instruct, and inspire all who attend to be the very best they can be, and to give them tools to do the same for their students.
