A Message from the Dean

As the University of Florida embarks on its most ambitious capital campaign to date, it is our privilege to answer the clarion call from Century Tower and to champion a shared purpose. The University’s aspiration is our aspiration; our goals are aligned as we work to Go Greater.

With a progressive research and training agenda, designed to address society’s greatest needs, we are focused on four key impact areas:

In Early Learning we are leading the way to a future where every child is prepared to enter school, giving children the opportunity to succeed through transdisciplinary collaboration.

By removing barriers through a variety of research-based approaches, our faculty are actively seeking to improve Student Success.

In Educational Technology, we are integrating emerging technology with proven learning techniques. We are transcending physical constraints and creating learning environments of the future.

Leadership goes beyond the classroom. We are working to prepare students and faculty to administer and implement complex policy at the local, state and national level.

By focusing on these impact areas, we will amplify our outcomes and strengthen society.

Together, we are Building A Brighter Future.

On behalf of the University of Florida and the College of Education, I thank you all!

Areas of Support

As one of the nation’s top ranked public education schools, the UF College of Education is dedicated to preparing scholars and professionals to contribute to the advancement of teaching, learning and human development. Private giving from alumni and friends drives this mission forward – enhancing research and programs, classroom experiences and outreach.

Students

Scholarships and fellowships enable the brightest undergraduate and graduate students to achieve their fullest academic potential. These students work closely with faculty members in key research areas and academic programs, and later go into the workforce as future leaders and innovators.

Faculty

Endowed chairs and professorships help the College of Education attract and retain top talent. Such endowments create a funding stream that supports a faculty member’s research and teaching endeavors by providing tools and equipment, stipends for graduate students and other opportunities.

Programs

Gifts to support programs in the College of Education provide faculty members and students with opportunities to serve communities, improve learning, and solve critical educational and human problems. Enhanced programs also create opportunities to launch strategic partnerships with equally renowned institutions.

Facilities

The College of Education campus displays a rich architectural history that dates back to 1934. Updating, expanding and equipping these buildings with the latest educational tools and technologies ensures our classrooms and study areas match our premier program.

Ways to Give

Planned Gifts

Leave a legacy at the college through planned giving. Planned gifts include bequests, real estate, and life income gifts such as charitable annuities that provide lifetime payments to the donor. Many planned giving methods provide valuable tax advantages for the donor.

Just like cash gifts, planned gifts may be unrestricted or designated for a specific purpose within the College of Education. Planned gifts may also be used to establish an endowment.

Annual Gifts

Annual gifts provide unrestricted support for the core mission of the college and immediate needs of the college. Contributions, at all levels, add up to make an immeasurable impact on students, faculty, research, as well as various programs at the college.

The Dean’s Leadership Circle recognizes the generosity of alumni and friends who make annual gifts of at least $1,000, or alumni under the age of 35 who contribute $500.

Endowed Gifts

Endowments are donated assets invested to generate an annual return in perpetuity, providing a source of financial stability during challenging economic times. These gifts may be unrestricted, providing for the greatest needs of the college, or restricted to a particular use.

Endowments are established with a minimum contribution of $30,000 through outright gifts, pledges paid over a number of years, estate plans, and deferred gifts such as trusts.
