The School of Education has set an ambitious goal of $16 million in The Campaign for UC Davis. We have made significant progress toward our goal—as of May 10, 2012, surpassing $9.8 million in philanthropic support—thanks to many of you.

In fact, alumni and friends of the School have generously donated more than 18 percent of this total—nearly $1.9 million since The Campaign began in 2006.

Through The Campaign for UC Davis—a university wide initiative to inspire 100,000 donors to contribute $1 billion in philanthropic support—UC Davis is expanding its capacity to meet the world’s challenges and educate future leaders. The campaign is the university’s first comprehensive fundraising effort, and it creates an unprecedented opportunity to extend the university’s influence, both locally and globally.

In the campaign, the School of Education has an historic opportunity to achieve its vision—by helping the most promising students to learn and discover here; by supporting our faculty and staff as they innovate, research, teach and serve the public; and by empowering our alumni and supporters to succeed and create opportunities for engagement with the School.

We have bold aspirations for the School of Education, and we ask you to be equally bold as you think about how you can engage and make an impact with students, faculty and programs at the School. We invite you to join us.
