SPRING 2016 NEWSLETTER Iron Arrow Honor Society THE HIGHEST HONOR ATTAINED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI A Message from the Chief Dear Tribe! Welcome back to another amazing semester at our beloved alma mater! In this newsletter, you will find the bio of our newly elected Medicine (Wo)Man Candice Johnson, a list of our impressive Fall 2015 tap class, the Spring 2016 schedule, and much more. I would first like to express my sincerest gratitude to the tribe for such a wonderful experience as chief thus far! The fall semester was a great success, and we are delighted to welcome the newest members to the tribe! I am so thankful to those who have supported and guided me along the way. 2015-2016 OFFICERS A special thank you to the COE members and my fellow officers this past semester, Phillip Zhen and Jake. Jake served the role of Medicine Man, and as former Chief, he was an invaluable colleague Anna M. Bona and mentor throughout. Plus, he brilliantly managed the memorable fall initiation ceremony. To Chief focus on his studies, Jake decided to step down and pass on the honor and leadership to another 219.742.3599 tribe member. The tribe elected Candice Johnson who will serve as Medicine (Wo)Man for the [email protected] spring semester! Again, thank you to entire tribe for donating your time to ensure the success of both our organization and university. Phillip Zhen Chan Son of Chief Along with Phillip Zhen and Candice, we look forward to the New Year and semester ahead!
