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.
