Back-to-School Fashion Show & Dinner

The College of Education and Human Services is holding its Second Annual Back to School Fashion Show on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 from 6:30pm-9pm. This year a hot dinner will be provided for the same price! Students pay $5 (Card swipers will be available for students to swipe their SHU ID). Non-students pay $10. If you so wish, for $5 more you can purchase 15 raffle tickets for a chance to win one of the many prizes offered. This professional development program will go over smart career fashions for teachers in the field while offering attendees an opportunity to sit together, network and have a nice dinner. More importantly, proceeds of this event will go towards a scholarship for Education students in memory of SEA Pirate & KDP member, Mary Jennings. Honor Cord Service Points will be given to KDP members who volunteer or attend the event. Please sign the KDP sheet at the ticket table as proof.

KDP - Xi Gamma Board for 2008-2010

A very warm welcome and congratulations to the KDP - Xi Gamma Board of Officers for 2008-2010: President: Rosemary Coyle Vice President: Audrena Campagna Secretary: Marian Behnan Treasurer: Joanna Rose Membership Chair: Brad Harris Historian: Dina Fellanto

How Can I Become a Xi Gamma Member?

In order to join Kappa Delta Pi-Xi Gamma Chapter, undergraduate students (sophomores, juniors and seniors) enrolled under the College of Education and Human Services are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5. Graduate students enrolled in the college are required to have a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or above. Every spring semester from mid to the end of February, CEHS undergraduate and graduate students meeting the GPA requirement by the previous fall semester are sent an invitation to become members of Kappa Delta Pi - Xi Gamma Chapter.

It is vital that your mailing address is up-to-date with Seton Hall University's Office of Enrollment Services (973-761-9332) as this is the information used to invite candidates to the Annual Kappa Delta Pi Induction Ceremony held in April.

Service Honor Stole (Optional for Graduating Members)

Kappa Delta Pi members who demonstrate service and commitment to the Honor Society goals throughout the year can earn a special stole to wear at graduation. Honor stoles are awarded to graduating members who have satisfied the optional service requirements at the KDP Annual Induction Ceremony held in April.

Ideally, Service Honor Stole activity should be a mixture of service to the chapter, to the profession, and to the community at large. At least 30 points must be accrued per year in order to earn the Service Honor Cord.

There are three ways to earn points:

• Attending meetings/programs/co-sponsored programs: 5 points for each meeting/program attended. Meetings/Programs are very important, as we use these for planning and carrying out chapter goals.

• Serving on KDP committees/attending KDP webinars: 5 points. (i.e. Participating in a fundraiser, Assisting in KDP functions and activities, Attending a KDP conference)

• Volunteer Service: 30 hrs = 15 points. (i.e. Any educationally or community oriented service such as library storytelling, the YMCA, tutoring, SHU Pirate Mentor, SHU 500, Mary Jennings Scholarship fundraiser, etc. )

Additional information on service points, Service Honor Stole hours submission forms, etc. can be received by contacting Omayra Arocho at 973-761-9661.
