The Rise School of Stillwater
With one in every 800 babies born in the United States each year having Down syndrome, the Rise School of Stillwater will make a profound difference in the lives of children, families and the community. It will provide the highest quality early childhood education and early intervention services to children with Down syndrome or other developmental disabilities as well as children without disabilities.
By affiliating with the College of Human Environmental Sciences, the Rise School will provide:
- a setting for specialized training for students majoring in early childhood education and valuable internship placements
- in-service training opportunities to existing Oklahoma teachers, thereby extending knowledge of best practices
- a setting for OSU faculty members to conduct research to determine which methods and practices are most conducive for enhancing developmental outcomes
The Rise School of Stillwater will serve children between the ages of 18 months and six years old and the classrooms will be comprised of 60-70 percent of the students with disabilities and 30-40 percent of the students who are typically developing. Children will be enrolled depending on space availability and must be able to benefit from participation in a group setting.
Campaign Goal - $5 Million

Human Environmental Science North Building
Growth is the College of Human Environmental Sciences’ proud achievement, but also our biggest challenge. The College has experienced an enrollment increase each year since 1995. These numbers tell the story of an amazing 63 percent increase in our college enrollment in the past five years. Statistics place three of our four undergraduate majors in the top 10 chosen by OSU students. Construction of a 140,000 square foot addition to our existing buildings, Human Environmental Sciences-North, will provide much needed space for current programs, as well as the expansion of instructional and research programs.
Campaign Goal - $55 million

The College of Human Environmental Sciences
Each department within the College of Human Environmental Sciences would greatly benefit by an increase in the amount of unrestricted funding that can be spent on the greatest need as identified by the Department Head and/or Dean. These "needs" include monies for faculty, staff and student professional development opportunities, students attending conferences that provide networking opportunities, and activities related to recruitment and retention of faculty and students. This funding can also be used for facility/equipment renovations and upgrades to keep laboratories and classrooms at the highest. Your gift to any one of these departments helps support the future of the College of Human Environmental Sciences. Gifts can be made to the following areas:
The College of Human Environmental Sciences Excellence Fund
Human Development and Family Science Excellence Fund
Design, Housing and Merchandising Excellence Fund
The School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration Excellence Fund
Nutritional Sciences Excellence Fund
