2020 Dean’s Roundtable Honorees Announced


The College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University is virtually honoring 37 transformational leaders as part of the 2020 Dean’s Roundtable.

For the past 29 years, the college has provided a unique opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate educators across the state. Since 1991, more than 600 individuals have been honored for their dedicated leadership and service to our communities.

The event, held annually in April, was canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the college still wanted to recognize the honorees’ achievements.

Since its inception, the Dean’s Roundtable event has raised more than $450,000 to support scholarships, programs and college initiatives.
