Indiana SEA applauds Manchester’s
future educators with
“Outstanding Chapter” award
Manchester College had the top Student Education Association chapter in
the state last semester, says the Indiana SEA, a student program of the
National Education Association.
As Outstanding SEA Chapter Spring Semester 2006, Manchester had
the most interesting programs, active membership and demonstrated
professionalism in education, announced the Indiana SEA at its Oct. 21
fall conference.
The chapter had 109 students, said President Jeanna Collins of Bourbon,
a junior education major. Other Manchester SEA officers are sophomore
Kristin Davidson of Greenville, Ohio; juniors Jenny Mevis of Lakeville
and Sarah Neuhalfen of Greentown; seniors Ashley Libben and Megan
Gallmeyer, both of Albion, and Lauren Bailey of Ogden Dunes.
Chapter members tutored children twice a week for 11 weeks to learn
about curriculum and standards in today’s classroom and worked with an
MC science faculty member on three experiments they could do in the
classroom. Chapter activities included one-on-one connections with area
mentally retarded residents on a prom-type dance, dinner, and a
luau.
Manchester offers a rigorous program focused on producing effective
educators in today’s classrooms. Currently, 263 students are majoring in
education; 50 seniors will do their student teaching next semester. For
