The College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) has a rich tradition of recruiting, nurturing, and developing phenomenal educators. Several alumni have established endowments to support the CEHD in providing resources for our future educators.
A new initiative, the “New Teacher Campaign” will provide funding necessary for recruitment, incentives, multi-faceted tiers of support, and mentorship. The ongoing generosity of both current and potential contributors such as you will enable our existing endowments and/or our New Teacher Campaign to continue efforts to attract viable candidates.
We also ask that you consider contributing your time, professional expertise, and/or talents to encourage, mentor, and inspire our students to know that they can achieve their goals. If you are interested in giving of your time or sharing resources other than fiscal resources, please contact the CEHD Office of the Dean at 601.979.2433. For those who wish to make fiscal contributions, please choose from the list of current endowed scholarships below or the New Teacher Campaign to exercise your belief that we must invest in our students who will be charged with helping to shape the minds of future generations.
