College of Education

Help Transform Urban Education, Locally and Globally

The vision of the College of Education is to be the leader in advancing equity and urban education. We can't achieve this vision alone. We need your support to continue to cultivate critical and innovative educators, counselors, leaders, and life-long learners to transform urban education, locally and globally.

Your gift to the College of Education Dean’s Excellence Fund provides Dean Anna Ortiz with the discretionary funding necessary to support the dean’s priorities, fund critical College activities, and address urgent needs in the College of Education. The Dean’s Excellence Fund plays an essential role in allowing Dean Ortiz to make the College a leader in advancing equity and urban education. 

Your support is critical to fulfill our strategic aspirations and promote excellence in educator, counselor and leader preparation;
