From Dean Carol Strong
“Light tomorrow with today.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning
We in the College of Education and Human Services are excited to participate in the first comprehensive campaign in university history. This campaign will strengthen outstanding programs but also enable us to advance new initiatives in teaching and research.
Investing today assures our friends and alumni of lighting tomorrow for students seeking careers in education and human services. Why? Because ours is the only Education College in the Intermountain West and Desert Southwest to achieve and maintain a Top 50 ranking from U.S. News and World Report.
“Investing today assures our friends and alumni of lighting tomorrow for students seeking careers in education and human services.”
Our current ranking—35th in a field of more than 1,200 and 3rd nationally in research funding—suggests that we know how to do life-changing work in education and human services. Building upon our 80-year history, we intend to honor proud traditions through an ongoing commitment to excellence in:
- Preparing superb teachers, administrators/supervisors and human services personnel for productive careers
- Offering outstanding programs, delivered both on-campus and through distance education, to those who serve at-risk individuals and low-performing schools
- Providing our students, clients and community partners with first-rate facilities, advanced technology and essential equipment
During the Comprehensive Campaign, the college will light tomorrow with today by securing the resources to recruit promising students and talented faculty, offer innovative programs informed by research, and provide world-class facilities, technology and equipment.
