  • Showcase of Regional Excellence

         I just received this letter from North America Region 10 coordinator, Don Rose, congratulating our chapter on receiving the Showcase of Regional Excellence recognition! 
         Our Showcase of Regional Excellence application was submitted based on our Apple Picking Event that the chapter held in the fall of 2020 where we were able to get together while maintaining the Covid-19 restrictions and also donated apples to Community Life Ministries of Richland County who runs a community food bank.   
         All chapters who've reached this accomplishment will be recognized during the regional meeting at the 2021 Biennial Convention!    

    Congratulations Rho Nu at-Large Membership!

    Good morning Rho Nu at-Large!

         It is time for our annual Knowledge Integration event!  Every year our chapter hosts Knowledge Integration, an event where students from Mount Vernon Nazarene University share presentations for dissemination among chapter members.  This is a virtual event and attached you will find the links to the students presentations.  Think of these slides as you would a conference hall filled with poster presentations and look for what topics catch your attention!

         Please take a little time and participate.  There is a link to an evaluation tool on the final slide.  Fill out the evaluation for the presentations you've watched and submit as this will help the students get additional feedback from soon to be colleagues!
