The School of Education Alumni Association was founded in 1951 ‘‘to further the educational, professional, and social interests of the School of Education and the alumni.’’ On a personal level, the association provides a link between the educator in the field and the university.

Professionally, the association works to inform the Indiana General Assembly of current professional concerns in the university and the teaching profession. As part of its commitment to keep alumni informed, the Education Alumni Association sponsors an annual conference that focuses both on significant activities in the School of Education and on national issues of topical interest in the field of education. The annual business meeting is also conducted during the conference.

The Education Alumni Association publishes Chalkboard, a semiannual magazine for all graduates of Indiana University’s School of Education.
