Between 1932 and 1942 the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs directly oversaw the two offices of the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women. Today, the Office of the Dean of Students oversees several facets of student life at LSU, including Greek Life, Campus Life, Disability Services, and Student Advocacy and Accountability. The position of Dean of Women was established at LSU in the 1916-1917 school year, with Mamie R. Lewis serving as the first Dean. (Women first began enrolling in classes at LSU in 1904, but were initially considered “special students,” and were not regular members of the campus community.) As the student population grew to include more and more women, the Dean of Women dealt with the administrative aspects of a coeducational campus, including housing and social activities for both on- and off-campus college women. Dean M. Margaret Jameson occupied the position of Dean of Women from 1966 to 1976, and after that position was eliminated, she became Dean of Students from 1976 to 1989. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection contains organizational records, instructional material, minutes, reports, financial documents, brochures, handbooks, newsletters, scrapbooks, and photographs relating to business under both the Office of the Dean of Students and the Office of the Dean of Women. Also included are records from various sorority houses (which were administered by the Dean of Women), Women Off Campus, Student Government Association, student athletics, and more facets of student life at LSU. Major topics covered include the involvement of the Associated Women Students in the process of ending dorm regulations for women at LSU, the 1977-78 Iranian Revolution, materials from Freshman Days held in the 1930s and 1940s, and the compliance of social and professional fraternities with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Also included are materials regarding impact of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 on scholastic and honor societies such as Mortar Board and Alpha Lambda Delta. 3 OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF STUDENTS RECORDS RG#A0302 1924-1987 LSU LIBRARIES, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LIST OF SUB-GROUPS AND SERIES Subgroup 1.

  • Academic Honor Societies
    Honor Societies Founded in Philadelphia by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University is one of just 153 schools nationwide with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business school accreditation. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization in the United States. Each school is required to present evidence that its educational program and academic environment "effectively quicken the mind and spirit of its students and faculty by encouraging the full development of their human capacities. Phi Beta Kappa requires that its member institutions give primary emphasis to curricula liberal in character and purpose and that courses distinguished by these qualities shall constitute the principal requirements for the bachelor's degree." AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is the premier accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting throughout the world. AACSB International is devoted to the promotion and improvement of higher education in business administration and management. Alpha Sigma Lambda is the academic honor society for College of Professional & Liberal Arts students. This national honor society was founded in 1945 at Northwestern University. Saint Joseph's University is also a member of the Alpha Epsilon Lambda honor society, the nation's only graduate interdisciplinary honor society. The society was founded for the purpose of recognizing the academic and leadership accomplishments of graduate and professional students. To become members, students must have a GPA of 3.85 or better and demonstrate capacity for leadership performance in the classroom and community.

  • The Rho Chi Society National Bylaws – 2018 Revision Supplemental Guide
    The Rho Chi Society National Bylaws – 2018 Revision Supplemental Guide - Annotated (Annotations are highlighted, in italics and referenced with guide number.) A Brief History of The Rho Chi Society The Rho Chi Society has its origin in the merger of two movements, both commencing in 1917, to create a national honor society for pharmacy. One had started on the campus of the University of Michigan where there had been a local honor society (known as the "Aristolochite Society") in existence at the Pharmaceutical Department since 1908. This group began to plan for national expansion in 1917, and finally established a second chapter at the School of Pharmacy of the (then) Oregon Agricultural College in 1919 and a third at the University of Oklahoma in 1922. The other movement, originally independent of the Michigan movement, was initiated even earlier in 1917 by Rufus A. Lyman in his presidential address to the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties. Under the stimulus of his suggestion, and the conscientious efforts of Professor Zada M. Cooper, it was decided to take advantage of the activity in progress at Michigan. The "Aristolochite Society" had in the meantime become the "Rho Chi Society," and had been granted a charter by the State of Michigan on May 19, 1922. The Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, finding that the group met the standards which the Conference had determined upon, extended its recognition to Rho Chi, as "the Honor Society of Pharmacy." Rho Chi, in turn, provided that chapters could be established only at colleges that were members of the Conference (now the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.) A policy of conservative expansion followed.

  • Passing the Baton
    VOLUME 26 * ISSUE 2* APR 2021 Passing the Baton Leadership Webinar Series News & Announcements Virtual Initiations New Life for URJHS Chapter Adviser Mentor Program Chapter Highlight: Kappa Alpha Member Highlight: Kitty Coffey Passing the Baton By Ginger Phillips-Schiller Kappa Omicron Nu has seen a lot of change in the past decade. The leadership changes have moved us from much loved Executive Director Dorothy Mitstifer, who served for 50 years, to her protégé Lisa Wootton Booth, to me – as someone with a background in FCS and a doctorate in adult education. Having served two years, I now find myself in the position to pass the baton again to my very capable colleague Holly Roseski. Looking back on my time as Executive Director of KON I could not be prouder. The past two years for KON have been some of the most interesting in the past decade. When I stepped into the role, some of the regular operational programs had stagnated. Processes, templates, and operational details were lost. I cannot underscore enough the value of standard operating procedures, knowledge transfer, and templates to an organization’s daily functioning. Being able to call a board meeting, decide on project priorities, update processes, or put out a simple newsletter moved from work that is operational to a project as we researched history, found tools to build, manage, or host, and recreated processes. Working together with the Board of Directors we have done so much work and come so far. We have recruited new board members, reestablished healthy board term cycles, and added a Treasurer.
