Educators offer advice to students

There's no better preparation for entering the world of teaching than consulting with experienced educators. That's why the Society of Alumni and Friends of the College of Education conducts an annual Education Consortium on campus for education majors.

Alumni who are teachers, principals and superintendents offered a one-day seminar March 3 to more than 100 education students. They presented sessions on resume writing, interviewing techniques, hiring practices, Ohio proficiency tests and other topics.

"It's wonderful because it gives students an opportunity to meet people out in the field," says Linda F. Smith, society president and Dayton Alumni Chapter member. "We want students to have some experience in handling themselves in interviews and to know about important education issues."
