Dr. Robert Colon

Head of Department of Graduate Studies in Education
Associate Professor of Educational Administration

The 2010-2011 school year marks my 44th. year in the education profession, the last 21 here at Purdue Calumet. During this time span, my experience has included teaching social studies in secondary schools, being a building principal in secondary schools, administering programs in a regional educational service center, and, here at PUC, serving as Head of our graduate department and teaching/advising/administering in our educational administration degree/license program. My particular interests are in administration foundations, school law, supervision of instruction, school leadership and reform, and collective bargaining.  I am an Iowa native, received my BA in social studies education, my MA in social studies education and school administration, and my PhD in school administration all at the University of Iowa.  You may contact me at rjcolon@purduecal.edu.
