Future Educators Association (FEA) meeting

Hello everyone! I hope this semester is off to a great start. The first Future Educators Association (FEA) meeting will be on September 15th at 6:00p.m in Palumbo 2005. For those of you who don't know, FEA is a club open to all Gannon students. It focuses on preparing freshmen and sophomores to become teachers. The officers and advisers are excited about the events planned for this year.

               

 

Join us for:

• Workshops
• Service projects
• Social events (we are working on a bowling night!)

                FEA is a great way to learn about the field of education, get service hours in, and meet new people. Please try to bring your dues ($5) to the meeting. This will help us pay for the events. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. We hope to see you all on the 15th!
