Whitlowe R. Green College of Education

Celebrating all fathers and father figures on this wonderful Father’s Day!

Congratulations are in order for WRGCOE Alumnus Michael Jackson ‘17, ‘21, who recently earned the distinction of becoming a Texas Education Agency Exemplary Teacher! Exemplary designations represent the Top 20% of Texas teachers, who consistently demonstrate excellent teaching effectiveness and substantial student academic progress are given an exemplary designation. These outstanding educators excel in the classroom and their students also show commendable academic growth. Black male teachers only make up about 2% of teachers nationwide. Mr. Jackson is the first male teacher to receive this award from WRGCOE!

Remembering and Honoring our Fallen Heroes! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Who's in the Lead?

The Homecoming Giving Challenge is on, and the College of Education needs your help to take the LEAD!

It’s not too late to join in and move the Whitlowe R. Green College of Education to the top.

This year, the annual Homecoming Giving Challenge aims to support our nine Colleges and Schools via our Deans’ Funds. The Deans’ Funds are traditionally used to ensure that the most impactful support mechanisms for students are available, specific to each college. These include priorities such as micro scholarships, professional conference experiences for students, equipment & tangible resources, and faculty development.

Give today and be one of 1,000 alums per college needed to achieve the goal. Collectively, $10 to your college or school provides your dean with $10,000+ in unrestricted funds.
Join the Challenge Today! Make a difference that impacts tomorrow.
