Members of the Leland H. and Clarice C. Bagwell College of Education Advisory Board
have been hard at work on the details of a major fund−raising initiative — the 1st
Annual Bagwell Ball‚ “Celebrating Excellence in Education.”
“This is our first large−scale friend−raising and fund−raising event‚” said Dean of
the Bagwell College Yiping Wan. “It is also a celebration of excellence in education.
We are hoping to raise between $20‚000 and $25‚000. The funds will be used for student
scholarships‚ faculty development and as seed money for new initiatives.”
The evening’s festivities will include silent and live auctions‚ as well as dinner
and dancing. The event will be held Saturday‚ Dec. 4‚ at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel.
Gala sub−committee chairs‚ including Ann Marie Burley‚ Wallace Coopwood‚ Susan Ellis‚
Stewart Cobb and Tana Page‚ have already done a tremendous amount of work‚ according
to Wan. “All of us at the Bagwell College are so grateful to the people who have generously
donated their time to and passionately supported the Bagwell Ball. Their hard work
and generosity will help us not only in increasing the number of educators and educational
leaders that we produce‚ but also in enhancing the quality of all our educational
programs.”
