KU School of Education & Human Sciences Honor Roll
For more than 100 years, the University of Kansas has been the beneficiary of financial contributions from alumni, faculty, staff and friends.
This collective philanthropy has established a host of funds for scholarships, professorships, lectureships and program support for deans, faculty, staff, and students. Our Honor Roll recognizes the names of those individuals alive today whose generosity has made an indelible impact on the past, present, and future of the School of Education & Human Sciences.
Watkins Society Members
The individuals listed below are members of the Watkins Society that honors those individuals who have developed an estate plan or other deferred gift arrangement with KU Endowment that will ultimately benefit the School of Education & Human Sciences. The Watkins Society memorializes Elizabeth M. Watkins who was one of the university’s earliest philanthropists. Her foresight in estate planning inspired generations of contributors to KU.
The planned gifts from these estate donors will establish future professorships, scholarships, and unrestricted program support. The School of Education & Human Sciences gratefully recognizes these individuals for their generosity.
