SHU Social Mentors Needed - 15 Honor Stole Points

15 Honor Stole Points for Involvement in the SHU Mentoring Program Below: The Center for Multiculturalism & Civic Engagement (CMCE) and the Office of International Programs (OIP) are seeking people like YOU, who are enthusiastic about meeting people of different cultures, who have an interest in making connections, participating in campus life events, as well as, encouraging active involvement in student organizations through a Social Mentoring program. The goal of the Social Mentor’s Program is to facilitate social interaction between Seton Hall local and international students. Navigation through a different culture and environment can be challenging. With your participation in this program, we are certain to provide a friendly campus where international students can feel comfortable, welcome and included. Our hope is that you, as a Social Mentor, will be able to provide information and resources, and that together, we will identify the needs of our international student population. Our mentors and mentees will have an opportunity to connect and communicate at our monthly meeting with the goal of integrating international students into campus life. We are asking that you attend at least one event, every two weeks, with your mentee. Our next monthly meeting will take place Wednesday, November 14, 2012 in the evening. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to rosario.reyes-urbina@shu.edu . Please also remember that many of our international students will not be able to go home for Thanksgiving, if you and your family would like to host an international student for Thanksgiving dinner, please indicate this in your e-mail.

In Loving Memory of Dr. Joseph DePierro

Dr. DePierro loved Seton Hall and especially the College of Education and Human Services. He was an undergraduate at SHU, a faculty member, program director, department chair, accreditation leader, and our dean. He was a leader that inspired hard work, innovation, and devotion to the central tenets of our college mission: service to children, families, and communities.

Dean Joe loved coming to work as our leader. He embraced challenges and saw them as opportunities. He welcomed new ideas and encouraged creativity. He celebrated our victories and cheered us on. Like an actor’s director, he was a professor’s dean. At heart, Dr. DePierro was a natural teacher who never lost his passion for what it meant to trigger the ‘aha’ moment for a student.

Dr. DePierro’s memory will remain with us, supported by the programs, relationships, and opportunities he helped to create.

In memory of our colleague, leader, and friend,

Grace M. May

Xi Gamma Gearing Up for the New Academic Year!

Dear Xi Gamma Members,

Welcome to our new Kappa Delta Pi Xi Gamma Chapter Blog! 

We are currently conducting E-board elections.  Advisors and the new E-board will then meet to schedule KDP Fall programming dates and post them here (Members will also be e-mailed).

This blog will serve as an additional method for KDP members to stay connected with SHU/Xi Gamma.

Save the blog address on your favorites and stay tuned!

Kappa Delta Pi members who demonstrate service and commitment to the Honor Society goals throughout the year can earn a special stole to wear at graduation. Honor stoles are awarded to graduating members who have satisfied the optional service requirements at the KDP Annual Induction Ceremony held in April. Ideally, Service Honor Stole activity should be a mixture of service to the chapter, to the profession, and to the community at large. At least 30 points must be accrued per year in order to earn the Service Honor Cord.

There are three ways to earn points:

 

• Attending meetings/programs/co-sponsored programs: 5 points for each meeting/program attended. Meetings/Programs are very important, as we use these for planning and carrying out chapter goals.

• Serving on KDP committees/attending KDP webinars: 5 points. (i.e. Participating in a fundraiser, Assisting in KDP functions and activities, Attending a KDP conference)

• Volunteer Service: 30 hrs = 15 points. (i.e. Any educationally or community oriented service such as library storytelling, the YMCA, tutoring, SHU Pirate Mentor, SHU 500, Mary Jennings Scholarship fundraiser, etc. )

New Blog Under Construction!!!

Xi Gamma is looking forward to a fresh blog face for the upcoming academic year! An e-mail will be sent to all members once the page is complete.
