Dean's Message & College News
A message from the Dean
The College of Education wants to share exciting news with alumni, donors, friends, students and colleagues. Edgar and Holli Martinez have established the Martinez Foundation to promote diversity in the classroom for the benefit of students, teachers and ultimately the community. The Martinez Foundation has selected three universities, Seattle University, University of Washington and Washington State University as partners in developing the Martinez Fellows Program.
Up to four Seattle University MIT candidates will be selected as Martinez Fellows and will receive a $15,000 scholarship. Candidates in the Special Education and Literacy for Special Needs programs will also be eligible to apply for two awards of $7,500. Ongoing Institutes will be provided for the Martinez Fellows after they complete their degrees.
The public announcement of this partnership will occur on June 6, 2009 at Safeco Field on Latin American Beisbol Day. Please plan to join us for the celebration. Details about the event can be found later on the College of Education website or at the Seattle University College of Education Facebook group.
