Nibbe gift elevates teacher education
The largest gift in university history—a $5.5 million donation from the Nibbe Family Foundation—was announced last week during Homecoming. The gift will provide undergraduate scholarships, support innovative teaching initiatives, expand opportunities such as study abroad and conference participation, and recognize teaching excellence. It also renames the teaching school to the Nibbe School of Teaching & Learning.
At the unveiling of the Nibbe School, Jay Nibbe ’85 (accounting & finance) praised the teaching profession.
“The strength of a community and a functioning society starts with education. It’s our individual and collective responsibility to absorb information, critically evaluate and understand it, and use our minds to make educated decisions. Good teachers do not tell us what to think, but they do teach us how.”
