Background
The Education Students' Society is the result of hard work and collaboration between the Alberta Teachers' Association and the two former groups, the Education Undergraduate Society and the Education Students' Union. The two groups merged in April 2015 to become one society for all education students. As long as you are enrolled in at least one education class this year or you are an education minor you are eligible for membership.
