Dean's Leadership Society

Become a Charter Member!

The Dean’s Leadership Society consists of a group of alumni, parents and community friends whose commitment and generosity through annual unrestricted gifts of $1,000 or more provide vital support to the School of Education. Members understand the need to train future educators, policy makers, school administrators, and industry leaders to positively affect education in a rapidly changing society.

Members receive recognition in our annual magazine, Advancing, invitations to exclusive events and celebrations, inclusion in mailings of special interest, and a stronger connection to UCI through active fellowship with the dean, administrators, faculty, and students.

Contributions to the Dean’s Leadership Society enable the dean to provide essential support for priority initiatives including:

Student scholarships and emergency grants
Graduate fellowships for partnership work at local K-12 schools in underserved communities
Teacher professional development for Orange County public school districts

“It is the School of Education’s mission to establish partnerships with local schools and create community-driven solutions to educational issues and inequities. With community support, we are together transforming educational opportunities and outcomes in Orange County and beyond.”

- Richard Arum
Dean and Professor
