Ennis joins Council for Exceptional Children's Representative Assembly
College of Education doctoral student Robin Ennis has joined the Representative Assembly of the Council for Exceptional Children and began her three-year term as student representative on Jan. 1, 2013.
The Representative Assembly serves as the council's membership advisory body and includes two representatives from each state and provincial unit, division and the student membership. Representatives identify issues and advise the Board of Directors on positions the council should take on; inform the Board of Directors, council affiliates and divisions and committees of membership issues and perspectives; and act as a forum to examine prospective ideas, strategy directions, policy initiatives and other issues.
Ennis earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education from Birmingham-Southern College and a master's degree in special education from the Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. She currently serves as a clinical instructor in the College of Education's Department of Educational Psychology and Special Education.

Upcoming Events in the College of Education
College of Education Centennial Event Honoring Georgia's First Lady Sandra Deal
Jan. 15, 2013
The College of Education will honor Georgia's First Lady Sandra Deal and her efforts toward improving literacy education in Georgia on Jan. 15, 2013, with a visit to the college's Child Development Center and a luncheon to recognize her achievements. Books will be donated in her honor to the center, as well as a public school library and public library of Mrs. Deal's choice.
In March 2012, Mrs. Deal began her "Read Across Georgia" initiative to support Gov. Nathan Deal's goal of increasing the number of children reading at grade level by the time they complete 3rd grade. Mrs. Deal has been visiting schools across the state, reading to students and emphasizing to teachers and parents the necessity of mentorship and the importance of being reading-proficient.
Both the Child Development Center visit and the luncheon are invitation-only events. For more information about this and other Centennial activities, click here.
