Jerry Pierce (IA 95) began a “foreign odyssey” in 2003 by teaching in the Ukraine while staying with a family that eventually immigrated to the United States.  Jerry hosted both these family members and another Ukrainian student, so he had a total of five Ukrainians in his home for six months.  Jerry described the situation as “a fun experience.”  The father of the Ukrainian family has maintained his conn ection with Jerry through the years by participating in his weekly tutoring sessions.

Kappa Delta Pi, International Honor Society in Education, founded by Dr. William Bagley in 1911 at the University of Illinois, was established to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. The founders chose the name from the Greek words to represent knowledge, duty, and power. Pioneering from its beginning by including women as well as men, Kappa Delta Pi grew from a local chapter to the international organization it is today, comprising 582 chapters and more than 45,000 members.
