General Needs of the College of Education and Human Ecology
The Dean's Fund
With the increasingly competitive environment of academia and the decreasing level of state support for the University, it has become critically important for the Dean to be able to respond to the needs of the College. Those needs include recruiting and retaining faculty, promoting promising initiatives in our College or collaboratively with other colleges, encouraging students or young professors to travel as a part of their academic experience, upgrading technology in classrooms, and generally promoting the goals of the College.
The Dean's Fund represents unrestricted gifts, most often given by alumni, to help where the College's needs are greatest. Gifts to this fund have a significant impact on the overall life and health of the College. Additionally, we are asking donors to consider establishing named endowed Dean's Fund. The Dean would use only the annual interest earned on a permanent fund. A Dean's Endowed Fund would improve the overall financial health of the College supporting the same purpose as The Dean's Fund, just through a more financially stable mechanism.
Fund Raising Goal
- Annual Goal of The Dean's Fund: $250,000
- Dean's Endowed Fund Goal: $500,000 - (One Named Dean's Endowed Fund $50,000)
Chairs and Professorships
Endowed chairs and professorships provide supplemental compensation and academic support for chair holders. According to the College's strategic plan, the number one priority is to identify, hire, and retain the best and brightest faculty. Chairs and professorships can and do play a vital role in achieving this goal.
- Named Endowed Chair: $2,000,000
- Named Endowed Professorship: $1,000,000
Graduate Fellowships
Graduate fellowships provide funds for a diverse group of outstanding graduate and professional students based on criteria established by the College and Departments. Graduate fellowships strengthen the College's academic programs.
- Named Endowed Graduate Fellowship: $1,000,000
Named Endowed Scholarships
An on-going need for the College of Education and Human Ecology, endowed scholarships allow us to support students with financial need and to attract and recruit students based on the merits of their academic ability.
- Named Endowed Scholarship Fund: $50,000
