The purpose of the Education Council is to promote cordial student faculty relations, to develop a sense of belonging among the students of the College of Education, to initiate or assist in the improvement of academic standards through the investigation of problems in the curriculum, facilities, teaching excellence and administration, to foster effective communication within the college, to provide a sounding board for student suggestions and problems, and to supplement the classroom training of future teachers with workshops, speakers, and social events. The Education Council serves as a link between students, faculty, and administration in the College of Education.
Meetings are open and anyone interested is encouraged to attend.
Council members are also welcomed to attend the Cabinet of College Councils meetings, held every other Thursday night. Every member is expected to serve on at least one committee. Members must be enrolled in the College of Education or be seeking a teaching certificate, have a 2.5 cumulative GPA and be willing to contribute 1-2 hours a week of their time. Attendance at meetings is mandatory and only three absences are permitted. Applications for membership are available at the beginning of the Spring and Fall semesters.
