Rick Carter, one of the Chairs of the Pi Gamma Mu Alumni group and Administration of Human Services student has recently openened his own non-profit business.

The Hospitality School aims to educate individuals who need specialized training, in developing skills required for employment in the hospitality industry. According to The Hospitality School's website, "The goal of the program is to prepare unemployed, underemployed, previously incarcerated persons, foster care youth, at risk youth, those with disABILITIES, and homeless adults for careers in the foodservice industry." Kudos to Rick and we wish him all the best in this great endeavor!!!

Pi Gamma Mu At Faculty Development Day

Yesterday was Fall Faculty Development Day at Wilmu. If you look closely at these pics you may see one of your professors attending Faculty Development Day! In particular, you may see Ron, Scott, Stephanie, Melody, or Deb who are also Pi Gamma Mu members!!!

Faculty Development Day is a semi-annual event when adjunct faculty gather for additional training so they can be even more effective instructors! It was nice to see that Ron and Stephanie were active presenters... always Pi Gamma Mu exhibiting service to others!!!

More About the Green & White Ball

If you are able to, please think about attending the Green and White Ball! This is a great scholarship fund-raising event for students at Wilmu! The entire DAC will be redecorated and classrooms will be transformed into gourmet eateries, each featuring a different country or theme. We have received amazing support from great restaurants and other food vendors in the community who will be providing food and drink for this event. This is the 3rd annual Green and White Ball-- it has become a Wilmu featured event, so come dance, and eat, and enjoy!

Pi Gamma Mu at the Green & White Ball

At Wilmu, our thoughts and attention are geared toward the upcoming Green and White Ball being held on Saturday, October 27! This is our annual scholarship fundraiser. Since Wilmington University is a non-profit institution that provides educational opportunity, being able to provide tuition assistance is part of helping those who would otherwise not be able to earn a degree in higher education. THIS YEAR I AM PROUD THAT SEVERAL PI GAMMA MU MEMBERS WILL BE "WORKING" AT THIS EVENT AS POURERS. Stay tuned as I will be running around taking pictures to post after! If you're looking for a fun evening and want to contribute to a worthwhile cause, please consider attending the Green and While Ball.

Homecoming & Upcoming Gathering October 11

September started a new academic year and Wilmington University's first ever Homecoming Weekend! The Pi Gamma Mu Alumni Chapter was there on a glorious sunny day supporting our soccer team at the new athletic facility on Pulaski Highway! The stands were filled with Wilmu students and alumns enjoying this wonderful day! Our next gathering will be on October 11 at the Harrad's Casino in Chester, PA. Stop by and say "Hi" to your colleagues from Pi Gamma Mu.

Gathering with alums is a wonderful networking opportunity! Come join us for some fun! Hope to see you there :)
