CEHD students, faculty, and staff extend a special thanks to our alumni and friends who have generously donated to the College. Those who benefit the most are our students. During the 2016-17 academic year, $464,000 in scholarship funding was awarded to CEHD students! We couldn't do it without you. Thank you!
