College of Ed Departments

In the College of Education, we prepare the next generation of teachers, athletic trainers, college professors, counselors, technology specialists, exercise scientists, principals, researchers, school business managers, superintendents and more.

 

We strive to give our students the best experience and preparation possible, and that’s where you can make a difference. We encourage you to support one of the following areas that align with our mission to create an inclusive, engaging and supportive environment that inspires students, faculty and staff to strive for excellence in their chosen professions.

 

Department Gift

Perhaps your fondest memories of the College of Education are of a certain class or faculty and staff in your program area. If you would like to give to a specific department gift instead of making a college-wide gift, we’d certainly appreciate that as well. Make sure you check out our matching gifts as well to help your gift have an even broader impact.
