Since 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has remained at the forefront in addressing the challenges posed by the changing landscape of education. By connecting practice, policy, and research, we help the world fully realize the transformative power of education.

As we enter the 2009-2010 academic year, we have reached a historic milestone as we celebrate the Ed School's 90th anniversary. The inception of a school of education at Harvard 90 years ago was made possible through a combination of philanthropic support and educational vision. Now, into the 21st century and at a time when the need for private philanthropic resources is great, support from you is critically important to support HGSE's educational vision.

By making a gift to the HGSE Fund, you help to sustain our mission to prepare leaders in education and to generate knowledge to improve student opportunity, achievement, and success. In honor of HGSE’s 90th anniversary, show your support and commitment to HGSE's mission, values, and future with a gift of $90, $190, $290 or $390. To submit your gift online, please visit our online giving page. Donors who submit a gift of at least $90 to the HGSE Fund prior to October 31, 2009 will receive a commemorative 2010 90th anniversary calendar.
