In 2006, the School of Education set an ambitious goal of $16
million in The Campaign for UC Davis. We have made significant
progress — as of February 6, 2012, we have received nearly $9.8
million in philanthropic support thanks to your generosity. More
than $2.7 million has been raised to support student
scholarships, faculty research and instruction. In all, 860
donors have contributed to helping the School reach its Campaign
goal. (Click on the attached source of funds chart to see a

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.
The School of Education was part of the campus and community-wide
celebratory kickoff. Sixth grade teacher José Bermúdez
(Credential ‘06, MA ‘07) and his student Kristofer of César
Chávez Elementary School joined community representatives in
support of Chancellor Linda Katehi at the
campaign announcement to the media. To learn more about
this unprecedented opportunity to expand our capacity as a school
and university, visit campaign.ucdavis.edu.
Sandi Redenbach and Ken Gelatt know the power of teachers to
shape young lives. As teachers they led by example for more than
40 years, guiding students to imagine a better future and
providing the tools they need to reach their goals.
Leading by example is one reason Sandi and Ken wanted to be the
first alumni to include the School of Education in their estate
plans. A belief in the power of education to change lives and a
commitment to leave a legacy for the future compelled these
veteran educators to pay it forward.
