Schools

The Kalmanovitz School of Education (KSOE) owes its strong reputation to rigorous, innovative educational programs and its student-centered learning environment. The School actively addresses the issues that affect education in California and your support can contribute to this mission:

• Scholarships that open opportunities for low-income students and students from under-represented groups.
• Technology Development to improve the integration of education technology — like SMART Boards, Nooks, and social networking — into programs and courses.
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to increase early identification and recruitment of under-represented students interested in teaching math, science or technology.
• Environmental Literacy support for curriculum development and teacher training in order to develop awareness and concern for the environment among students in the K-12 classroom setting.

Because we teach students how to think, not what to think, the School of Liberal Arts provides learning that lasts, even in a changing world.

• Support the Performing Arts and create opportunities for off-campus performances by our award-winning actors, dancers and musicians
• Give to the Tuition Assistance Program for current and former professional dancers in LEAP (Liberal Education for Arts Professionals), a national bachelor of arts degree program 
• Provide scholarship support for promising writers in the MFA Program 
• Support the post-graduation success of SOLA majors through LAB, the Liberal Arts Bridge program that provides professional exploration, development, and internship support for students.
• Support faculty and student scholarly travel grants and help provide faculty development on issues of diversity and inclusion, through the Dean's Fund for Academic Distinction.
• Support public history courses, internships for students at the Smithsonian Institute, and educational partnerships with local schools promoting public history to future Gaels.
