The College of Education exists to promote the growth, education and development of all individuals. As our students engage in high-quality research, learning and outreach, they are being shaped into change-agents – individuals who help learners of all ages grow and stretch to reach their fullest potential. Student by student, person by person, we build communities of success – with higher paying jobs, better overall health, less crime, and a deeper appreciation for diversity. We ask you to support – our college, our students, our schools, and our communities – as we work together to transform education and the lives of the learners in our reach.
The competition continues to grow for the best faculty, brightest students and most groundbreaking research. To ensure we continue to systematically improve education within a top national university, the College of Education must provide critical funds to increase programmatic offerings to our students and faculty, uniquely positioning the college to provide leadership through innovative education, research and service. The Dean’s Excellence Fund supports the following areas: Scholarships, Faculty Growth and Research, and Innovative Projects.
