Covenant College's Education Department is pleased to announce Career Summit 2012, to be held March 1-2, 2012 (Thursday evening and Friday) at Covenant College. Our goal is to acquaint school administrators with our teacher education students, as well as provide a time of refreshment for busy administrators.

As a special bonus, the annual Educators Conference is linked to Career Summit. DR. DONOVAN L. GRAHAM will be the speaker for this year’s Educators Conference to be held on Thursday, March 1, 2012, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Dr. Graham served at Covenant College for 32 years, as a professor, as a Dean, and finally as Chaplain. He will be speaking on the topic of Thriving as an Educator. Make plans now to enjoy a day of professional development! Career Summit will begin that evening at 7:00 pm and will continue through the next day.

The education department requires teacher education students to participate in Career Summit so this event promises to be beneficial for both school personnel and our students. The Directory of Teacher Education Graduates 2012 provides a brief sketch on each graduate. Administrators are advised to look over this list in order to determine whether or not the students who will be graduating this year might be good matches for openings they anticipate in their schools.

The schedule for Career Summit includes a time of introductions, informal mingling, and light refreshments on Thursday evening from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. This session will include both junior and senior teacher education students as well as students in our new Master of Arts in Teaching program. The Friday interview sessions will be with the seniors and MAT students only and will be in a group format, i.e. each group will consist of several students and several administrators, moderated by a faculty member of the Covenant College education department.

Due to limited space and time, we are planning on one registrant per school. (If a school has elementary, middle and/or high school divisions, more than one may attend.) Upon receipt of the registration form and registration fee, we will send a confirmation by e-mail. If it is imperative that you bring along someone else from your school, or if you have other questions, please call or e-mail Jane Stewart, Administrative Assistant, Education Department, at 706.419.1407 or jane.stewart@covenant.edu.

Also due to space limitations, it is not possible for administrators to bring displays. Instead, we suggest that you bring materials about your school to distribute to our students, or that you send our students materials about your school via e-mail or post.
