Fundraising |
The Faculty of Education strives to contribute substantively and professionally, through teaching, research, and services, to the development of knowledgeable, competent, and caring educators who are responsive to the needs of their students and help shape contemporary society.
In support the goals of the Faculty of Education, I thank you for considering a gift to the three priority areas of the Faculty:
- Teaching Excellence
- Infrastructure, Equipment, Technology and Resources
- Community Development Initiatives
The list is not exhaustive; it includes initiatives of greatest need within the Faculty. I encourage you to contact our Advancement Projects Officer if you want more information about our priority initiatives or ways you can contribute to scholarships, bursaries and research.
