Members of the Education Club enjoyed a cookout at The Citadel Boathouse on September 11th. In addition to electing officers for the 2007/2008 academic year, a former cadet (Jermaine Joyner) presented to the club and the School of Education a plaque from Morningside Middle School thanking us for supporting their athletic program. Plans for Teacher Cadet Day were finalized and cadets were selected to participate as tour guides and as panel members for this September 27th event.
