Welcome, Rowan University!

The latest club to join the growing list of A?K Collegiate clubs was chartered in December at Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey. The first collegiate club in New Jersey was the special project of?Rowan alumni Deborah Ingersoll, NJ Chi, and Diane Mazzei, NJ Phi.?

After hearing speakers from the Ball State Collegiate Club in Minneapolis in 2019, Deb nudged Diane and said, “We can do this at Rowan. With your connections, we should be able to establish a club there.”

Diane currently serves on the Rowan Alumni Board of Directors. Along with Rowan professor Meredith Brown, Ph.D., the process of building interest with potential members began.

Dr. Brown is the club’s faculty advisor. Alexis Davis and Rachel Campbell were installed as co-presidents, and Emma Avis was installed as vice president.?

Rachel, a double major in special education/early education and psychology, expressed her excitement about the mentoring the new club will receive from established A?K members. She said, “I just like the idea of mentoring because many of us are not familiar with school districts. Alexis, an inclusive education major, hopes to “create that sisterhood, that community that a lot of times we don’t have in the field of education.” Emma, a junior inclusion major, sees her role as a way to further opportunities for women.
