Hello All!
We hope you enjoyed your Spring Break and are ready for the last weeks of the Spring semester. We wanted to send out an email regarding some very exciting events for the month April - and of course information about the ever elusive Initiation.
Final BOP Meeting of the Year!
Wednesday April 6
7:00 PM @ the Tea Shop, Faculty Lounge
Anyone interested in an officer’s position next year is encouraged to attend this meeting! You’ll learn what is expected of an OSA organization, as well as how to utilize OSA tools and opportunities so you can plan your own events next year.
As an OSA recognized organization, PAT must have a President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary; we’ve been filling these roles ourselves, but if you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us so that transition next will be as easy as possible.
Time Wrap Dance
Saturday April 9
9 PM - 12 PM @ the Student Union
This event will be co-sponsored by the Aurelia Reinhardt Historical Society (ARHS), Office of Student Activities (OSA) and Phi Alpha Theta. The winning theme for the dance is 1980s-1990s, so come dressed in your best Brat Pack and Fresh Prince attire! The dance is free for all attendees, but there will be a donation station for the Red Cross' Japan Earthquake Relief Effort Fund.
Also, if anyone is available on Saturday, we're looking for volunteers to decorate the Student Union before the event, clean up after, as well as donations of make-up and accessories; there's going to be a “makeover” area that attendees can check out. So, have you got blue eye shadow or purple blush you don't want anymore? Then we'll take it! Also, got some mixed CDs lying around with vintage Brittney Spears and M.C. Hammer? We’d love those too!
This is sure to be a fun event that's for a great cause.
Phi Alpha Theta New Member Initiation
Thursday April 14
6:30 PM @ Vera Long 140
Finally, Initiation is here! We will be inducting new members eligible from the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters into the historical society. We have reserved Vera Long 140 for Initiation, and are still waiting for confirmation; in the case that we are not approved for VL 140, we will be in one of the classrooms on the first floor in Mills Hall – we will send out an email confirming the location of Initiation once it is confirmed. You will also receive your Phi Alpha Theta certificates at Initiation.
Please email us with suggestions for dinner options and if you have any dietary restrictions.
What can you do with a B.A. in History?
Wednesday April 20
4:00 – 5:30 PM @ GSB Gathering Hall
This informational panel will be held in conjunction with Professor Gordon’s HIST 189 class (so don’t worry those of you in the thesis class this semester!). As a part of the thesis class, a class period is devoted to the educational and career opportunities available to History majors, and we will be opening this portion of the class to the broader Mills community, specifically to underclassmen who may still be deciding what they want to pursue at the undergraduate level. This panel will hopefully stir up interest in and get more “foot-traffic” for the History department.
All faculty members are invited to participate in the panel, as well as any students who want to relay their experiences to attendees.
So mark up your calendars, we’d love to see as many of you as possible to these awesome events!
**Also, note to graduating seniors (Can you believe it’s only 43 days away? But who’s counting?): If you are interested in ordering PAT graduation regalia to wear at graduation, please look into it as soon as possible! Cords are $15 and the honor sash is $20
And as always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email us.
