CALL FOR FACULTY SPEAKERS

Beginning this fall, Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Sciences will be offering a new Speaker Series to spotlight the research interests and expertise of Pi Gamma Mu's chapter sponsors!  The program will offer lectures from our chapter sponsors on topics of their choice to all Pi Gamma Mu members.  The speaker series lectures will be offered via the zoom online platform.

CHAPTER NEWS

This issue contains updates from The Catholic University of America (DC Alpha), Dominican College (NY Mu), and Wayne State College (NE Delta)

BOOK SERIES PUBLISHED BY PGM MEMBER Katalena Honeycutt

Katalena Honeycutt, member of the Maryland Theta Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, created The Seasoned Series to connect children to diverse cuisines in a fun, educational way.

ALUMNI CORNER

The Pi Gamma Mu Alumni Corner was created by the Pi Gamma Mu Alumni Council so that Alumni could stay in touch with their updates, career activities, and key events in their lives.  The Alumni Council would love to include your update in next year’s July issue of the Pi Gamma Mu Newsletter.    

Please email your update to:  [email protected].  Please limit your summary to a few sentences and list “Alumni Corner” in the subject line of your e-mail.  Please be sure to list the name of your Pi Gamma Mu chapter. The Alumni Council is co-chaired by Gordon Mercer, past Pi Gamma Mu President, and Nilda Pyronneau, a past Pi Gamma Mu Student Board member.

PI GAMMA MU MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE

This set of three 8” tall wooden letters is made of 1/2” thick Baltic birch plywood.  The set will arrive sanded and ready to paint or display as is.  These letters are great to showcase along with a Pi Gamma Mu Banner during induction ceremonies and new initiates love posing for photos holding the letters.  They also look great on display in a home or office.

ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE HONOR SOCIETIES

Pi Gamma Mu is one of 69 members of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), which is the authority on standards and definitions for the honor society movement. ACHS has stepped up efforts to alert the higher education community to the standards of traditional honor societies. In contrast, some new so-called honor societies exist online and allow self-nomination, accepting fees with no questions asked. If in doubt about an organization, you can check out the ACHS Web site (www.achshonor.org) for the list of honor societies that are members.

CHANGE OF EMAIL ADDRESS

Pi Gamma Mu communicates with its lifetime members via email. Anytime your email address changes, such as after graduation or when you change jobs, please notify the Pi Gamma Mu office immediately. This will prevent your emails from being interrupted or discontinued. Simply email your new email address to [email protected] or go to our Web site (pigammamu.org) to change your address information. We will need both your old email address and your new email address to update our records. Thank you very much for taking a few minutes to keep your information current.
