OSU Panhellenic Networking Event - May 29 1-3 PM

May 29 1-3 PM

Great Meeting Hall Room 3

Ohio Union on OSU Campus

Please RSVP by May 14 via email to Dessa Hornung at hornung.11@buckeyemail.osu.edu

This event is an opportunity for collegiate women to meet recent graduates and other Panhellenic Alumnae to discuss the professional world outside the Greek Community. As the Director of Alumni Relations for the Panhellenic Association, my purpose is to prepare our members for professional experiences inside and outside of the Greek Community. As Panhellenic women who have undergone the transition from the collegiate world to the professional world, we know that our graduating women would benefit greatly from your advice.


The event will consist of time for attendees to get to know each other through discussion and light refreshments. As many of you may know, the new Ohio Union recently opened on March 29, 2010. As a token of our appreciation, I have organized an exclusive tour of the Ohio Union for all women in attendance.


Please bring a business card if you would like to be contacted by any of the women you meet at the event. My hope is that you may serve as a mentor and provide professional advice or support. If you are comfortable speaking to the group, I will email you one or two questions to address during the discussion. (These questions will be submitted from each chapter and will be given to you in advance, so that you will not be put on the spot with a “Q” and “A” session.)


Because this event has limited seating available, I will be accepting reservations based on a “first-come, first-served” basis. If you are available to attend, please RSVP via email to: hornung.11@buckeyemail.osu.edu. ...please reply no later then May 14. I look forward to hearing from you!


Sincerely,
Dessa Hornung
Director of Alumni Relations
Panhellenic Association

Friends and Family Bowling Extravaganza POSTPONED

In light of the recently unpredictable winter weather, we have decided to reschedule the bowling event previously planned for this Saturday at Sequoia Bowl.

A new date and time will be announced shortly.

Founders Day location change...

Scioto Country Club is undergoing a large renovation to their entire dining facility through June 2010 and will therefore be unable to host our Founders Day celebration this year. Thank you to Debbie Sayre for originally sponsoring the event at Scioto Country Club and then for finding us an alternative venue at Muirfield Village Golf Club. We will be celebrating Founders Day on Saturday, April 17th, in the Pavilion banquet room overlooking the beautiful Muirfield golf course.

Reservation information wil be coming to you soon. Please plan to join us for this gala event!

Saturday, February 20th, 2010, noon till 3pm.
