Brenau University has named the Carole Ann Daniel College of Education. The naming honors Trustee Carole Ann Carter Daniel, WC ’68, and the lifetime of support she and her family have provided to Brenau, as well as a current gift from the Carroll E. Daniel Family Foundation.
“This transformative donation will substantially enhance Brenau’s educational programs, further elevating the College of Education’s already exceptional academic reputation. It will also allow us to expand opportunities for our students,” Brenau President David L. Barnett, Ph.D., said. “We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to honor Carole Ann Daniel’s remarkable legacy in this meaningful way, acknowledging her significant and continuing impact on our institution.”
The Carole Ann Daniel College of Education is Brenau’s second-largest college, with nearly 600 students enrolled in its undergraduate school and graduate school. The college offers four undergraduate degrees, two master’s degrees, a specialist degree, a doctoral degree and multiple graduate-level endorsement certificates. The online Doctor of Education program has had 74 graduates since it was started in 2019 and currently has 240 students enrolled across six concentrations.
The funds will be used to support the college, including facility upgrades, programmatic and faculty support funds, fellowships and scholarships, and other investments in Brenau’s education program.
