Crystal Apple Society
In 2012, the College of Education at Tarleton State University established a new award to honor educators who have made a positive impact on the lives of students. We all can think of special educators who made a difference in our lives and the lives of others, and the Crystal Apple Society is the perfect opportunity to honor these dedicated individuals. Those wishing to honor an educator make a minimum donation of $500; this gift, which is an important source of funding for student scholarships, underwrites a reception for the honoree and guest, as well as the nominee and guest. A special gift will be presented to the educator at the celebration event. Light refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
