FEATURED STORY

Year in Review: UCO Receives $4.98 Million Grant from U.S. Department of Education

UCO's Donna Nigh Department of Advanced Professional and Special Services, housed in the College of Education and Professional Studies, received a $4.98 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant will address the mental health needs of students while offering educators at Moore Public Schools opportunities to advance their professional qualifications. UCO is the only university in Oklahoma to receive funding for school-based, mental health services.

“As Oklahoma’s third largest and only public metropolitan university, the University of Central Oklahoma is uniquely prepared to help teachers grow in their profession and, by extension, help Oklahoma’s next generation thrive as they learn skills needed to be successful citizens,” said UCO President Todd G. Lamb.
