We are experiencing tremendous interest and growth in our Exercise Physiology (undergrad; grad) and Sport Administration (undergrad; grad) programs.

We are developing a new master’s and doctoral program in Community and Educational Leadership.

We have been able to attract and hire outstanding faculty scholars who represent the diverse nature of our community.

We are gaining attention in the national press for our faculty’s research efforts.

Your generous contribution can help us maintain the momentum in the school and its programs. There is a special need for scholarships for the excellent and deserving graduate and undergraduate students who want to study in our school. We need to capitalize on our growing reputation and research activity by hiring additional outstanding faculty. Funding is also required to continue the progress made in developing new programs such as those in community and educational leadership, athletic training, teacher retention, and nutrition. Plans for a transitional and a new facility are also in need of support.

I am confident that our dynamic school is poised for even greater achievement. Your Annual Fund gift this year will help us to create scholarships, support pioneering research, and build a long-needed, state-of-the-art teaching and research facility. Every gift makes a difference in what we are able to accomplish, and every gift is deeply appreciated. I thank you in advance for recognizing that especially in these times, those of us who are blessed to have a great opportunity to give to important and worthy causes.

With warm regards,

Isaac L. Prilleltensky
Dean, School of Education
