Led by Associate Dean Dawn Crim, the School of Education's External Relations Office includes the School's alumni, communications, and development services. As a team, the External Relations staff assists the Dean in maintaining valued relationships with alumni and friends across the country.

How does it do that?

Through alumni programs, publications, good old-fashioned correspondence, and an alumni Web site.

The External Relations Office coordinates numerous alumni events, as well as events for students, faculty, and staff. These events are advertised through Campus Connections (the SoE print and online publication), the SoE Online News, and the Alumni Page on the School's website. If you have questions about the School's public relations efforts or special events, contact Ashley Voss at (608) 265-7875.

The office publishes the School's newsletter and distributes it to nearly 45,000 alumni twice a year. It also acts as a liaison between the School of Education and the local and national press, and works with a variety of community organizations to get the word out about the School's events and initiatives. For more information about the School's print newsletter, Learning Connections, or departmental publications, contact Rebecca Quigley at (608) 890-1430.

The Education Development Office coordinates the School's fund-raising efforts. Private gifts to the School of Education support a variety of scholarships and special projects. If you are interested in making a gift to the School, or if you have any questions about the School's current fund-raising efforts, please contact Eric Greiling at the UW Foundation at (608) 890-1223.

The External Relations Office also manages several Special Projects, such as an alumni Web site and a listserv for alumni and friends of the School. For information about these activities, contact Ashley Voss at (608) 265-7875.
