Education is a cornerstone of our society
We need education to grow, to inspire us, to prepare us for careers, and to guide us through our lives. At the College of Education, we are conducting research on the grand challenges facing education today. Our graduates include teachers, of course, but also leaders, researchers, counselors, deaf interpreters, school psychologists, special education teachers, principals and superintendents. Whether you want to study the cultural nuances that affect education or advocate for research-proven education policies, College of Education has all of this and more.
Your support can help us provide dynamic learning experiences that allow students to connect theory and research with practice. You also empower us to pursue innovative teaching and educational technologies, including robots for telepresence instruction and a state-of-the-art production studio for online teaching.
"When supporters take action through philanthropy, they are playing a key role in equity by removing barriers and contributing to a future in which opportunities exist where they should.”
– Dean Robert Q. Berry III
