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 San Antonio.

    The chapter won first place in Collegiate Chapter activities, second place in the Chapter Scrapbook competition, and first place in the writing awards for articles submitted to the national newsletter.

    In addition, COE advisor Christina Akin was appointed to be editor of the Current, the KDE national newsletter.

    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 and resume contest, meeting speakers, banquet and student recognition.
