Dean’s Fund for Educational Excellence & Innovation

Dean’s Fund for Educational Excellence & Innovation

A gift to the Dean’s Fund will support Dean Tambra Jackson’s priorities and vision for the School of Education.

The Dean’s Fund ensures there are unrestricted resources available that will allow the school to remain innovative and competitive while moving forward Dean Jackson's vision to advance teaching, research, and community engagement with faculty and staff.

Last academic year, the Dean’s Fund launched two initiatives to support staff and internal leadership.  These programs are integral to recruiting and retaining the highest quality faculty and staff that will support student success.
