Hello all Golden Key
Members;
As the new President of the Golden Key Honor Society
at Kaplan University I would like to convey my feelings of gratitude for being
placed in this position. I am nothing
but a humble servant of the membership and hope that I can live up to the
legacy that have been left by our past Presidents, especially Lilo Cartwright
and Linda Dunckel.
We are starting something new here at Kaplan University
Chapter of Golden Key, an e-mail update!
We feel this will be a great way to communicate with the membership and
for the membership to communicate with us.
We are here to serve you, so the more involved you get the better this
chapter will work. We are only as strong
as our weakest member! There are several
ways to stay updated and in contact with KUGKHS, the first being by e-mail, KUGKHS@gmail.com. We also have
a new and improved blog which can be found at http://kugoldenkey.blogspot.com/ where you can sign up
for email notifications, this way you will be automatically notified when the
blog is update and events have been added.
Of course our facebook page is also available at https://www.facebook.com/KUGKHS and we are currently working on updating and
improving our twitter link as well as our LinkedIn account. Every member should also receive our monthly
newsletter by e-mail (which can also be found on the blog) where all of the
e-mail addresses for the executive board are listed at the end.
The executive board has been working on many new and
exciting things that will add to the experience of being a member of Golden
Key. The first item is a special
election. We are in the process of
accepting nominations for the position of secretary. The person elected will be in the position
for the remainder of the term, which will be until March 2013, and they must be
an active student. Please get your
letter of intent and campaign statement into KUGKHS@gmail.com by April 22nd. We would like to hold the election from April
23, 8PM to April 30, 8 PM. Everyone will
be emailed the link for voting.
We are working on a great new service project known
as Better World Books. This is a
charitable organization where students can donate books, especially textbooks
and Golden Key will receive the charitable credit. The books are used to provide under privileged
students that would not be able to afford the books or are sold and the funds
used for the charity to purchase books.
We will be releasing more information on this next week.
We area also searching for students to attend out
Golden Key International Summit in Atlanta, Georgia at the end of July. Active students and alumni are invited to submit
essays and active students will be reimbursed for their travel. Georgia Tech will be hosting this event and
will provide lodging. We have been
allotted five slots for attendance and this would be a great opportunity to
expand your network as well as bring back some exciting features to KUGKHS!
We also hold regular meetings for the general
membership and all members, including alumni, are invited to attend. These live meetings are held on Adobe Connect
and can be found at https://khe2.adobeconnect.com/r33289196/ on the last Monday of the month at 8 PM eastern with
our next meeting coming on April 30. The
May meeting will be held on May 21 due to the Memorial Day Holiday. We try to
present guest speakers at this meeting that will assist and educate our members
on a variety of topics. Our last meeting
featured Garret Messerly discussing interviewing techniques. The link for the recorded version of that
meeting can be found on our facebook page.
We also hold monthly meetings for our
newsletter, The Golden Scholar, and those are held on the third Friday of the
month with the next meeting coming on Friday April 20, 2012 at 9 PM Eastern at
the same Adobe Connect link as the general meeting. Alumni are invited to attend and participate
in the newsletter.
Of
course, our classroom is still a great way to stay active and up to date on all
the different things that we have going on and we are currently in the process
of updating it. There are also some
unique discussion boards there and even a segment to post pictures of
yourself!
Thank you for taking the
time to read the update. Together we can
make this the greatest chapter Golden Key has!
Sincerely,
George Pammer, President
Kaplan University Chapter
