We are an all-volunteer organization and greatly appreciate everyone’s time and dedication to make initiatives like this a reality.”

The organization’s passion for supporting educators and professionals who support those with Autism and their families is inspiring,” said Derek Coffman, major gift officer in the College of Education and Human Development. “By making this gift and taking advantage of the Centennial Scholarship Challenge, the foundation will be able to sextuple the number of students supported over the next two years,” added Coffman.
