21 Educators To Be Honored At Dean’s Roundtable


The College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) at Texas A&M University will honor 21 educators who have made a positive impact on the lives of their students at the 2016 Dean’s Roundtable to be held on Friday, May 6th at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center.

Dr. June Scobee Rodgers, Texas A&M University class of 1983 and the widow of Challenger Space Shuttle Commander Richard “Dick” Scobee, will be the keynote speaker for the evening.

Established by Dr. Jane Stallings in 1991, the Dean’s Roundtable has recognized more than 550 educators who are role models to their students and peers, mentors for new education professionals, and servant leaders in their communities. In the process, they have raised over $450,000 in support of scholarships, programs and college initiatives.

“By identifying dedicated educators to be honored at the Dean’s Roundtable, sponsors help recognize the important role that educators play in shaping the futures of their students,” stated CEHD Dean Joyce M. Alexander. “This year, as always, our benefactors have chosen to honor a distinguished group of professionals who share our vision of transforming lives through education.”
