Hazel McCanne Student Branch
Our student branch is named in memory of Dr. Hazel McCanne, a professor of Early Childhood Education in our department for many years. Her work at this university is memorialized in a photo montage on the 3rd floor of the Education Building. Membership in our student branch benefits future teachers by involving them in activities related to teaching and offering an opportunities to share ideas and interests with others committed to children. While we encourage membership in ACEI, all members and non-members are welcome at our meetings. Please see our bulletin board on the 2nd floor of the Education Building for updated membership and meeting information.

The San Marcos Student Reading Council [SMSRC] is an organization dedicated to promoting literacy, and is affiliated with the Texas State Reading Association and the International Reading Association. Students who join [SMSRC] also become members of the Texas State Reading Association and receive quality educational publications, which inform teachers of cutting edge teaching strategies.
There are multiple opportunities to enhance leadership skills, these include: presentating at and attending local, state and national conferences, chances to connect and share ideas with other university student reading councils, and planning and implementing community service projects. The fun part is that the [SMSRC] provides aspiring teachers the chance to fellowship with other like-minded students.
At [SMSRC] monthly meetings students hear from top-notch speakers who address topics related to classroom diversity, literacy pedagogy, reading across the curriculum, student motivation, and many others.
