Give to the College of Education

Give to the College of Education

 

With the country facing a national teacher shortage, helping to make it possible for more students to obtain their teaching licensure through the UCCS College of Education is becoming increasingly important.

As the future begins with education, Colorado needs the best and brightest educators in its classrooms. Your support is a vital and appreciated investment in the future of our children. With 72% of College of Education graduates remaining in Colorado, a gift to the College of Education is a gift to the future of Colorado.

 

VALERIE MARTIN CONLEY
A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
“Public-private partnerships and innovative programs are a hallmark of our university. The College of Education depends on the generosity of alumni and friends to help us continue to be responsive to the needs of the Colorado Springs community, El Paso County and southern Colorado — much of which is rural. We have one goal: To prepare our students to be successful professionals in schools and communities for the benefit of our state and society.” — Valerie Martin Conley, dean.
Dr. Valerie Martin Conley
Our goals for the College of Education include scholarships to support undergraduate students during clinical experience —especially in rural and high needs areas, graduate assistantships and stipends for research.
