Dean's Circle

The Eriksson College of Education Dean’s Circle recognizes individual and corporate donors who have made a contribution of $250 or more to the college's Fund of Excellence. These gifts assist in enhancing the Austin Peay experience, allowing the Eriksson College of Education to provide necessary student resources, support faculty, staff and community needs, enhance classroom spaces, improve educational technology access and more. 

Dean’s Circle members are recognized annually as part of the Honor Roll of Donors in the Austin Peay State University Alumni Magazine, as well as on the Eriksson College of Education's website and digital signage. Dean's Circle members will also be recognized at select college events.
