    The Lotus Leaflet Pi Alpha Xi, National HorticultureHonor Society January 2015 Edited by Stephanie Burnett, Tau 52 ! The purpose of Pi Alpha Xi, The National Honor Society for Horticulture, is to Recognize high scholarship, Foster good relationships among its members, Promote or to facilitate the exchange of ideas among members of the professions, and Establish cordial relations among students, educators and industry members. Letter from the President Classes started here January 26, so yours truly has been madly trying to clear off the top of her desk before then! On top of the clutter are several Pi Alpha Xi documents: the Operations Manual (eternally open), the Photography Contest materials, and some of the application paperwork for our request to form a PAX chapter here at UWyo. First things first: The Photography contest is our big project each year, benefitting our scholarship program. Paul Thomas (University of Georgia) is heading up the effort this year and he and his committee are making some changes and improvements to the program. We’d like to remind everyone that entries may be submitted by anyone residing anywhere on Spaceship Earth – membership in PAX is not required. So spread the word far and wide and plan on submitting a photo or three of your own! Information for the 2015 version of the contest is included in this newsletter and is also and will shortly be on our web site as well (www.ashs.org/pax/). Second things second: Our materials are largely put together for submitting a request for a new UWyo chapter of PAX.

The college began in 1889 and has risen in prominence to be among the top colleges of agriculture in the U.S. Likewise, the Department of Horticulture has consistently ranked among the top horticulture programs in the country for its depth and strength in a variety of areas. On the occasion of the department’s 125th anniversary, it is appropriate to look back and consider the set of circumstances that led to such a long tradition of success. This departmental retrospective provides some of the facts and figures, as well as the personalities and programs, that have shaped our department’s history.

  • Pi Alpha Xi Lotus Leaflet October 2014
    The Lotus Leaflet Pi Alpha Xi, National HorticultureHonor Society October 2014 Edited by Stephanie Burnett, Tau 52 ! The purpose of Pi Alpha Xi, The National Honor Society for Horticulture, is to Recognize high scholarship, Foster good relationships among its members, Promote or to facilitate the exchange of ideas among members of the professions, and Establish cordial relations among students, educators and industry members. Letter from the President First and foremost, I’d like to thank our outgoing leaders for their attention to Pi Alpha XI over the last two years. Mary Lewnes Albrecht (University of Tennessee) served as our President and now moves to the role of Immediate Past President. Daniel Warnock (Monsanto Company) served as our Past President and now rotates off the Board of Directors while John Peterson (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo) moves into the role of Past President. Tina Cade (Texas State, San Marcos) is now our Secretary/Treasurer. Stephanie Burnett (University of Maine) steps in as our new Vice President, and I round out the Board of Directors as your new President. The PAX web site has been updated to reflect these changes. Changing leadership reminds me of the changing seasons. Up here at 7,200 feet (really!) we’ve already experienced a freeze and the foliage of our deciduous trees and shrubs has started changing color. Winters are long here and once the snow starts to fly, we won’t see much of the ground again until April. Now we all know why I went into greenhouse crop production! Many of you know me, but many don’t.

  • Pi Alpha Xi Lotus Leaflet June 2016 Copy
    The Lotus Leaflet Pi Alpha Xi, National HorticultureHonor Society June 2016 Edited by Stephanie Burnett, Tau 52 ! The purpose of Pi Alpha Xi, The National Honor Society for Horticulture, is to Recognize high scholarship, Foster good relationships among its members, Promote or to facilitate the exchange of ideas among members of the professions, and Establish cordial relations among students, educators and industry members. Letter from the President The past two years have gone fast. At our Pi Alpha Xi meeting in July 2014 I took over the reins as President of our organization. Since then we have installed two new chapters, worked on updating new chapter acceptance/ installation procedures, recognized Dr. Paul Thomas (Sigma 138) as a PAX Fellow, and our chapters collectively inducted about 200 new student members! As of this writing, I regret we have not yet wrapped up the revision of the procedures for accepting new chapters. There is still time to have a draft ready for our annual meeting in Atlanta, though, so stay tuned. What have I learned over the last two years? For one, it takes a boatload of people to keep this organization running and I am eternally grateful to Mary Lewnes Albrecht. The Operations Manual she spearheaded in 2012 has been constantly open on my desk. Mary is an inspiration and I don’t know where PAX would be without her guidance. I am also quite grateful to Stephanie Burnett and Tina Cade, our trusty Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer respectively. PAX will be in good hands when Stephanie steps up to the Presidency in August; Tina has chosen to remain in her current role so we will be electing a new Vice President.
