Enriching Your Education: Student Activities and Organizations  Student
organizations represent an important part of the undergraduate experience
at Holy Family University. All students are encouraged to join and participate
in different campus and community activities, where you’ll meet new friends,
get to know faculty and staff, and enjoy some fun outside the classroom.
In addition to joining the many campus-wide student organizations, education
majors may be eligible for membership or participation in the following
student groups:Alpha Upsilon Alpha- Beta Epsilon Chapter The Honor Society of the International Reading Association Faculty Moderator: DR. HELEN HOFFNER Graduate students seeking a master's degree with certification as a reading specialist or reading supervisor are invited to join the Alpha Upsilon Alpha Honor Society of the International Reading Association. Membership in Alpha Upsilon Alpha enables students to grow professionally as they meet with area reading professionals to discuss reading research and effective strategies. Members provide service to area schools and literacy organizations. Alpha Upsilon Alpha members must have completed a minimum of nine semester hours in reading at the graduate level and have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher in all graduate work.

MICHAEL WHITE Education Connections focuses on service and support within the University community, to the larger society, and to each other. Typical activities of the club include: community service projects, University-based services with other clubs, fundraising, and more. The club especially seeks participation from education majors who want to make a difference in the University and local communities while attending Holy Family.  Meetings
are held every other week from 12:30 to 1:20 pm. Please check the Holy Family
calendar for meeting dates. This is a great experience and "treasured" opportunity
to offer time to do something for others affiliated with the education realm.
Membership also adds a "personal touch" to one's professional development.

through Education Connections. Students can join the PSEA, a recognized
state professional education organization, which is a branch of the National
