Alpha Epsilon Delta is an honor society for undergraduate students preparing for careers in the health care professions. The object of the Society is to encourage and recognize excellence in premedical scholarship; to stimulate an appreciation of the importance of premedical education in the study of medicine; to promote cooperation and contact between medical and premedical students and educators in developing an adequate program of premedical education; to bind together similarly interested students; and to use its knowledge for the benefit of health organizations, charities, and the community.
The UM chapter is going into its eleventh year; consequently, this year's membership will have a great influence on the direction in which this organization will take. The executive board is planning to include a number of social and service events into this year's programming, as well as several medically-related informational opportunities (eg, speakers, workshops, movies, panel discussions, etc.). In addition, we are planning on working closely with students at the Medical School and with AED chapters at nearby schools such as Michigan State.
