The Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Delta Epsilon, based in UGA's College of Education, won several national awards at the education honor society's recent national convention held in Philadelphia, PA, November 4-7.
The chapter won first place in Collegiate Chapter activities and another first in the writing awards for articles submitted to the national newsletter. UGA won second place in the Chapter Scrapbook competition.
The Collegiate Chapter activities award is comparable to winning “chapter of the year.” The UGA chapter was selected from about 35 others and included such activities as the interview contest, resume workshop, various guest speakers at meetings, banquet, and lunch with Dean Castenell. It was the second time in three years that UGA has won the award.
In addition, Jennifer Coats, Alpha Epsilon Chapter President, headed the Student Advisory Council during the convention.
The UGA chapter, which has had 412 members since 2000, is currently led by Jennifer Coats, president; Catie Scott, 1st vice president; Seth Hines, 2nd vice president; Jessica Beavers, secretary; Julie Conner, treasurer; Shani Simmons, historian; Doug Harris, parliamentarian; Jennifer Coats, Webmaster; Crystal Holland and Megan Cannon, council members.
