KAPPA DELTA PI

The Pi Sigma Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi (KDP) International Honor Society in Education seeks to unify and promote the field of education by providing networking and professional development resources to education students who are beginning their careers. For the first time in Liberty University’s history, during the 2021-22 academic year, the School of Education’s Pi Sigma chapter was awarded the Florence B. Stratemeyer Award for Chapter Excellence — the highest award presented by Kappa Delta Pi. The Liberty University chapter also brought home six additional awards, making it the second consecutive year it has won seven awards!

URBAN EDUCATION CLUB

As we begin our seventh year in the School of Education, the Urban Education Club continues our mission to prepare teacher candidates for the realities and challenges associated with teaching and supporting students in low-income, urban communities. We partner with Lynchburg City Schools to provide club members with opportunities to develop mentor/ mentee relationships with veteran urban educators. We hear presentations from experts in the field of urban education and individuals who work to support the downtown Lynchburg community. This semester, we will focus on issues outside of the classroom that impact students’ academic performance, such as trauma and homelessness. The Urban Education Club provides valuable insight and information for students who feel called to teach in cities and those who are still trying to decide where God is calling them. Every student deserves grace and customized support. Come join us to find out how we can make school a positive and meaningful experience for all children.
