22 Education Students Inducted Into Kappa Delta Pi Honor Society

This past academic year, 22 Education and Speech and Language Disability majors joined the Rho Mu Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education.

During the ceremony, held in Hamilton Hall, alumna Carolyn Rennie ’11 shared her inspiring journey. Rennie teaches high school English in the Horseheads Central School District and debuted her first book, Aria for a Grasshopper, in April. Rennie was invited to demonstrate where an EC education can lead.

Courtney Aronstam, Chair of the Communication Sciences and Disorders program; Dr. Stephanie Johnson, Dean of Retention and Student Success; Dr. Andromeda Hightower, Assistant Professor of Adolescent Education; Sarah Vallely, Career Services and Career Education Coordinator; and Jenn Coyle, Administrative Coordinator for the Education and Communication Sciences and Disorders programs, facilitated the event.

Kappa Delta Pi was founded in 1911 to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to working in K-12 schools. For over a century, the society has welcomed new scholars, and its initiated membership now exceeds 1.2 million. The Rho Mu Chapter originated at Elmira College in 1988.
