Keane Nacional and Heather Pilarz
Student MEA members elect new chair
Keane Nacional, a sophomore at the University of Michigan, will serve as chairperson of Student MEA beginning Sept. 1.
Elected by student members attending the Student MEA Professional Development Conference last month, Nacional has been active in the student program for the past year. He will serve as chairperson until Aug. 31, 2010. Student MEA members also elected Nacional as a delegate to attend the NEA’s Representative Assembly this summer.
Student MEA is a preprofessional organization for people preparing for the teaching profession in any of the higher education institutions of Michigan. Student chapters exist on several college and university campuses.
Student MEA members also elected Michael Card, also from the University of Michigan, to serve as vice chair. They elected three other students to serve as delegates at the NEA event: Heather Pilarz, Jeanette Grove and Mallory Marek, all students at Central Michigan University. Molly Preston, another Central student, was elected as an alternate.
