Making a Gift

A gift to the College of Education directly benefits our students and faculty by providing the critical margin that allows our faculty and students to maximize their potential beyond state allocations. We are grateful for every gift provided by our donors whether it is given for a specific purpose such as scholarships, faculty development; for a specific program; or as an unrestricted gift, allowing the Dean to allocate these funds for the greatest need the College has today.

We greatly appreciate every gift made to the college, no matter what size. To learn more about the college, its funding priorities and how you can make a gift, please visit the College of Education on the Web, or contact the development office directly for more information.

Key Funding Priorities

Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence

The Center for Urban Educational Excellence is housed in the Department of Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology. The Center works in partnership with other universities, school systems, parents, students, social agencies, and community organizations to create and sustain excellence in urban educational environments. The Center for Urban Educational Excellence is committed to researching, developing, implementing, and assessing means to promote excellence in urban educational settings to optimize the life chances of all children and their families.

Center for Research on School Safety, School Climate and Classroom Management

The Center for School Safety, School Climate and Classroom Management believes a safe, comfortable and positive environment will raise the learning potential of students. A fairly new initiative in the College of Education, the Center provides a structure through which schools and community agencies can learn to anticipate behavioral/ violence problems, train educators in classroom and school management and build a curriculum that prepares new educators who are knowledgeable and skilled to deal with such problems.

Center for the Study of Lifelong Literacy

The Center for Lifelong Literacy focuses its efforts in literacy across the ages with an emphasis in literacy, reading and mathematics, as well as English as a Second Language. The venture is a cooperative effort that involves individual schools, school districts, and the College of Education. The Center provides professional development and systemic support for teachers who are helping students learn effective literacy skills and use literacy as a tool for learning.
