Committee Information
Each member of Eta chapter is expected to join
a committee and participate in its activities. Committees are a great
way to earn points for both pledges and active members. Listed below
are the committees of Eta Chapter.
Mock Interviews
This committee organizes and conducts mock interviews for
prospective teachers. The Eta Chapter was the first to conduct mock
interviews in the 1950's and maintains this tradition today. They
take place in late spring with many local administrators participating. Preparation
includes contacting local schools, signing-up participants, and collecting
fees, arranging set-up and food with Hillenbrand Hall, and arranging other
details. The day of Mock Interviews, committee members will need to check-in
principals and interviewees and, if you wish, participate in the interviews
yourself. Mock Interview day is an invaluable service Eta Chapter
provides to Education Members. Please contact the Vice President
of Committees if you are interested in this committee.
