Pi Alpha Chapter

As a result of our need for involvement we are recruiting pre and in-service educators who are willing and able to become active participants in Kappa Delta Pi (KDP) an International Honor Society for Education.

New members must attend 2 meetings, workshops, or activities that are sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi BEFORE they are inducted into KDP in the spring of 2008. These activities are publicized around campus and on the GMC website.

Jan 08 - Newsletter

After Induction—The expectation is that Kadelpians will attend a professional development session each semester and participate in fund-raising activities.

Look for information via e-mail flyers, posters around campus,  and webpage information.

Information meeting:  Monday November 12 at 6:30 P.M. prior to a professional development session.

During the spring semester the chapter offers two professional development meetings before the Induction in April.
