Improving Lives

In June 2021, CEHD completed its largest campaign ever. Improving Lives raised over $120 million to support faculty, students, and special initiatives. Thank you to all our generous alumni and friends! Learn more about how gifts make a difference across the college.

We believe that education plus human development
equals virtually limitless possibility.

Because of you, we have additional resources for:

Student support

$36M

Faculty/staff support

$19M

Research

$16M

Outreach

$1.6M

We are still completing the campaign for a new Institute of Child Development building.
