Carl Kalani Beyer, Dean of the School of Education, Pacific Oaks College

Prior to starting the School of Education at Pacific Oaks, Dr. Beyer was the dean of the School of Education at National University, as well as a Professor and Chair of the Teacher Education Department at Concordia University.
