Why Forever Forward Legacy?

The College of Education Alumni Board recognizes the need for a self-sustaining fund to provide educational support through scholarships to students in the College of Education into perpetuity. The name, Forever Forward, was developed and chosen with that in mind. As College of Education alumni drive teaching, learning, health and wellness in their communities and the world that can also be reflected supporting of future leaders in education and kinesiology. As an alumnus or a friend of the college, you can forever impact the lives of countless students by supporting the Forever Forward Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Who created Forever Forward Legacy?

The College of Education Alumni Board of Directors (Alumni Board) has a long history of enhancing support and promotion for the college, current and future students, faculty, and friends. For over 25 years, the Alumni Board has provided leadership and programs on behalf of the nearly 59,000 Spartan education and kinesiology alumni.

Because of the changing landscape of teaching and learning, physical activity and educational research, use of technology, teacher education and school reform in our communities and around the world – The College of Education Alumni Board of Directors has committed to further support the lives of future educators by creating an endowed scholarship fund, The Forever Forward Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Alumni Board Members 2022-2023

Today’s students need educators who understand how to prioritize all aspects of teaching and learning with attention to health and wellness, building strong communities and care of the environment. Scholarship support for students will better allow them to prioritize those needs for themselves, so they can model and have the space they need to adapt and develop innovative strategies they can carry into their future classrooms. As a 1st-generation college student and former 5th-year scholarship recipient, I can attest to how great this financial support can impact the ability to deeply reflect upon and gain from an educational experience. For this reason, I am now working to pay it forward… forever!
