Honors, Awards, and On the Move Updates

The Alpha Gamma Rho colony at SUNY Cobleskill performed volunteer service at the Iroquois Indian Museum, located in Howes Cave, this fall. More than 20 AGR brothers completed at least 10 hours of service at the Museum. Their responsibilities evolved from grounds upkeep and building maintenance to exhibit preparation, hanging and displaying artwork and artifact relocation. Chapter members earned valuable curatorial, visual-display and public outreach skills as a result of their service in this project. Read more about the project.

Brandon Hanson, Ben Hinners, Peyton Boyle, Scott Stoll, Michael Peters and Braden Else of Eta Chapter at Iowa State University shared with the kindergartners at King Elementary School about agriculture in Iowa on January 16. The students had a chance to hear about wind energy, turbines, cows, dairy, rivers, pigs, and more while learning where many of these things are located in Iowa! This is part of the ISU 4U Promise, a college partnership program designed to help nurture a college-going culture at King Elementary and Moulton Extended Learning Center in Des Moines. Each grade is paired with one of the undergraduate colleges at Iowa State University. Students, staff, or faculty from the different colleges are then invited to share their areas of study in interactive and engaging lessons with the students in the classrooms.
