100 Futures: Investing in Student Career Readiness

Opening Doors to Professional Growth

At the College of Education and Professional Studies (CEPS), we do more than teach—we prepare the next generation of industry leaders. Yet for many students, the cost of joining professional organizations can be a significant barrier. These memberships are essential for networking, certifications, and career placement opportunities, but not all students can afford them on their own.

By giving to the Dean’s Excellence Fund, you help remove this financial barrier. This initiative aims to sponsor at least 100 student memberships across five key departments by the end of the next academic year. Your support ensures that first-generation and low-income students have equal access to professional networks, industry connections, and life-long career opportunities.

Your gift helps make professional development a permanent part of the CEPS student experience, bridging the gap between the classroom and successful careers.

Together, we will ensure that every student has the tools and opportunities needed to thrive professionally!
