Kia Richmond (English) received a MEEMIC Foundation for the Future of Education mini-grant of $1,800 for an academic service learning project in her EN 350 methods course this semester. She is pictured receiving the check from Dwight Johnson, local MEEMIC representative. The grant, called "Reaching/Teaching the Future," will allow Richmond's students to connect with area middle and high school students in discussions focused on the life of an English teacher: what they do, how they prepare for careers in education; and why individuals might pursue that career path. EN 350 students will also join the Michigan Council of Teachers of English and interview local teachers about how involvement in professional organizations enhances teaching identities and teacher efficacy.
