How to Support Woodring College of Education

The Dean's Excellence Fund

The Dean’s Excellence Fund allows us to meet the needs of our students and programs as they occur and to distribute funds to the areas where they make the biggest impact.

Last year, we were able to support the Center for Education Equity and Diversity Food Pantry, which provides accessible nutrition for students experiencing food insecurity, bring guest speakers to campus and support university-wide student events through the Dean’s Excellence Fund.

Your donation will help students who need emergency financial funding, support enhancements to student-centered spaces, or sponsor scholarships for departmental and student activities.
