In Illinois, almost one in six of all teachers are Redbirds. Illinois State University’s College of Education is also the second largest preparer of teachers across the nation. Thanks to donor support, the College of Education can continue to educate Illinois and the nation.
College of Education supporters understand:
- Scholarships attract and retain high-performing students and make higher education accessible for first-generation students.
- Successful teachers and leaders need innovative learning environments that fuel creativity.
- Students benefit from exposure to a variety of perspectives and cultures. Donor support provides for international study and promotes global competency.
- Named, endowed professorships attract top faculty who have a long-lasting impact on their students. Donors generously enable research and scholarship, while developing top faculty.
- Metcalf Elementary and University High School offer teacher candidates and faculty unique hands-on experience and ongoing research opportunities.
The success and reach of Illinois State education students reflects the tremendous donor support the college enjoys. Thank you for your generosity.
