Planned Giving

Our undergraduate and graduate students and faculty have the shared goal of cultivating real-world change from revolutionary educational thinking. In our community no idea is too new, no obstacle is insurmountable and no student is unteachable. The imagination and empathy of our community drives incredible results, altering individual and collective pathways in education for the better, for all.

At UCLA Ed&IS, we value imagination over convention and empathy over exclusivity.
