EMU’s Student Education Association (SEA) chapter is a voluntary and student led organization of students interested in teaching early childhood, elementary, secondary, all-grade and special education that meets approximately once a month to learn more about teaching and/or complete service projects.
Students are provided the opportunity to join the Virginia Education Association (VEA) but are not required to join for membership in SEA. Membership in VEA entitles the student to affiliate membership in the National Education Association (NEA), including its student publications, for one year and a subscription to the Virginia Education Journal. Student teachers are encouraged to join VEA. VEA members receive various publications and benefits including $1 million in liability insurance.
SEA executive board members are elected by the membership each spring from the education student pool.
