Dean's Leadership Society
The Dean’s Leadership Society consists of alumni, parents, faculty, and friends whose commitment and generosity through annual gifts of $500 or more provide vital support to the School of Education and its programs. Members understand the impact education has on shaping our world in a rapidly changing society.
Gifts of $500 or greater to any School of Education program, including any of the focus areas below, will help us in our mission to improve educational equity, access, and outcomes for individuals of all backgrounds from infancy to adulthood.
