DEVELOPMENT UPDATES
We would like to thank the Self Foundation for their payment of $50,000 towards their $250,000 pledge to the Sara Smith Self Foundation School of Education Program Fund.
This gift not only helped with the development of the collaborative “makerspace” area known as the SELF Design Studio, but also was a critical piece towards the School of Education receiving the Federal Teacher Quality Partnership grant for Transforming Teaching through Technology in 2014.
