The Educators Hall of Honor
Educators Hall of Honor
Through the Educators Hall of Honor, individuals can simultaneously honor their favorite educators and make a tax-deductible contribution to the scholarship endowment fund.

Plaques in the Educators Hall of Honor are engraved with the names of teachers and other educators who have had a profound impact on the lives of students and their professional colleagues. The plaques line the hall of Claxton Complex, beginning at the Dean’s suite and continuing down the hall toward Claxton Addition and in the hallway on the next floor. |
For a contribution of $1000, a name and identifying phrase will appear on the Hall of Honor, and an entry into a companion book or video with additional material will be included. For a contribution of $25,000 or more, a separate scholarship endowment fund bearing the honoree’s or donor’s name may be established. Donors’ names will also appear in the companion book or video unless they specify anonymity.
