The Educators Rising (EdRising) Ohio State Conference hosts a series of contests and competitions that put students’ abilities to the test in events designed to highlight topics and skills related to the education profession. The event, now in its 34th year, was held at Capital University in nearby Bexley on March 5-6.

As a chapter, the Teaching Professions was also designated as an Honors Chapter for the third straight year.
