Board of Visitors
The purpose of SOE’s Board of Visitors (BOV) is to support the Dean in advancing the school’s vision by building a more robust culture of philanthropy in support of SOE’s programs, scholarships, and faculty support and research; building strategic partnerships; and strengthening programs that prepare teachers, educational leaders, and mental health professionals.
The BOV serves as LMU School of Education’s most fervent ambassadors and provides thought partnership, expertise, and strategic guidance to advance SOE’s mission, elevate its impact, and support its ongoing commitment to excellence.
