Sep 30, 2020 - Union’s Delta-Psi chapter of Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society held its fall plenary meeting on September 30, 2020, at which three students were inducted into the organization. Chapter President Savannah Wright oversaw the induction ceremony for Walker Beasley, Elizabeth Blevins, and Jack Waters and gave them their membership certificates. Dr. Stephen Carls followed by reading a letter of congratulations from the society’s national office.
During the business meeting, Wright dealt with two items. The first was to select a chapter secretary and a second senator for Union’s Student Senate. Waters will serve as the chapter secretary for the remainder of the year and Beasley will represent Delta-Psi in the Senate. The second item was a suggested community service project at Liberty Garden Park in Jackson as part of Union’s Day of Remembrance on November 3. Attendees endorsed the idea and invited the Rutledge Honorary History Club to participate as well. As the meeting proceeded, Carls passed out information about Phi Alpha Theta’s national scholarships and paper prizes.
The Phi Alpha Theta meeting ended with Carls taking photos of attendees and the new Phi Alpha Theta members outdoors.
