KDP Middlesex College Chapter President Sarah Moore and Chief Experience Officer Christopher Whited

Sarah Moore, former President of Middlesex College's Alpha Theta Zeta chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, KDP, talks with NACCTEP Executive Director Julie Ferin about re-careering from nursing to teaching and how KDP brought her the sense of community she needed as a community college student. From one of her first days on campus, Ms. Moore sought out the camaraderie of other student members of KDP whom she calls her chosen family. Describing the chapter as a unique gift that fulfilled her need for mentorship and community, she goes on to describe her journey not only to becoming a teacher, but to becoming the best teacher she can be through her experiences as a member and office holder in her KDP chapter. Noting the numerous scholarship, grant, and guidance opportunities, Ms. Moore also shares the beneficial activities like hosting a TB testing clinic on campus through the Department of Health and the Teacher Shower this July to provide recent graduates with supplies for their new classrooms. Mr. Whited emphasizes the value that having a sense of community that KDP can provide at the community college level is only the beginning of the benefits of having a KDP chapter at a community college.
