Shape the Future for Education Leaders
The cost of attending graduate school in education has become increasingly burdensome. But the talent to lead the education and human development professions has never been more critical for our future. Supporting students with scholarship assistance can make a significant difference in the quality—and size—of our student body.
Make New Strides in Teaching
We’re a small school with a big agenda that requires quality faculty to carry it out. Faculty retirements anticipated over the next five years create an opportunity to reassess the alignment of faculty resources with signature programs. Attracting the best faculty ensures our students will benefit from excellence in scholarship and teaching.
Enhance Student and Faculty Collaboration
With your support we can capitalize on our geographic and intellectual advantages to enhance our students’ experiences through public seminars, major speakers, innovative lecture series, town hall debates, conferences, and other gatherings.
