Fall 2015 NEWSLETTER Iron Arrow Honor Society THE HIGHEST HONOR ATTAINED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI A Message from the Chief Dear Tribe, Greetings to the Tribe and welcome back to another exciting year at our beloved Alma Mater! Our university continues to grow and improve as we embark on a new chapter with a promising future ahead. As we turn the page on the prosperous fourteen-year presidency of President Shalala, we should take this opportunity to reflect back over the history of the University of Miami and our time here. Since the beginning, it has been the role and the honor of the Iron Arrow Society to uphold the history and traditions of our prestigious university. Thank you for continually representing the Tribe and University in your leadership, scholarship, character, humility, and love of alma mater. The Tribe must continue this responsibility as we welcome our University’s sixth president Dr. 2015-2016 OFFICERS Julio Frenk. The future of our University of Miami looks promising. We remain ranked among the top 50 universities in the country at 48th. We have successfully completed the Momentum 2 campaign, a year ahead of schedule. We thank those who donated and encourage all to continue to support our university. Anna M. Bona This past semester, we welcomed the Spring 2015 tapping class.

This year, we look forward to [email protected] continued improvement and growth as an organization. We want to ensure continued nomination of those that exemplify the five qualities of Iron Arrow, fair selections, increased member involvement, and promote the Phillip Zhen Chan initiation of tappees that can in turn provide strong footings for future officers and Tribe members to continue the Son of Chief integrity of Iron Arrow. 305.764.7971 We invite the Tribe members and their families to the University’s annual Homecoming events the weekend of [email protected] November 6-8, 2015.
