The University of Kentucky College of Education is devoted to preparing great educators and we appreciate the gifts we receive from our alumni and other friends of the college. Those gifts help in so many ways, from providing scholarship funds to worthy students to enhancing facilties to assisting in the continuation of many of our events.

One of the most important predictors of success is the quality of people involved. Your love of the University of Kentucky and for the College of Education combined with your professional achievements and community involvements will provide us with a collective knowledge and support to achieve our goals.

• Support for Students - One of the missions of the College of Education is to provide training and support for its students. Our goals are to encourage outstanding University of Kentucky students to consider a career in education and to further their expertise and training through the pursuit of advanced degrees.
• Support for Faculty - A crucial measure of any college is the quality of its faculty. The College of Education has developed long range plans for the support of the faculty. In order to enhance the College of Education's position as a national leader in research and professional teacher education, we plan to recruit faculty members of national prominence.
• Support for Facilities - To provide the best possible education for our students and resources for faculty research, the College of Education must be vigilant in maintaining up-to-date facilities and utilizing the latest technology.

If you are among the alumni who gave to the College of Education this year, we want to express our appreciation as we consider your investment in education as an investment in people. One of our goals for the next fiscal year will be to increase our alumni giving participation rate as that gives us an edge in competition for support from foundations and corporations. Whatever your level of giving, we want you to know that the College of Education is a better place because of your gift.
