St. Joseph County Chapter Sponsors Freshmen Send-Off
The St. Joseph County Chapter of the IUAA hosted IU alumni, their families, and incoming freshmen and their parents, at a pizza party "send-off" to the Bloomington campus. The purpose of the send-off was to acquaint this fall’s freshmen and their parents with other freshman and their parents, and with local IU alumni.
The St. Joseph Chapter announced the recipients of its $750 scholarships for 2008-09: Jennifer Lindsay, Penn High School; and Dylan Cunningham, Mishawaka High School.
Jennifer plans to study at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and also to study Spanish. Dylan will study pre-med. The major source of the St. Joseph County Chapter’s scholarship funding is the annual Alumni Scholarship Golf Outing, which took place on June 9 at South Bend Country Club.
A drawing of gift certificates donated by the St. Joseph County Chapter and T.I.S. Bookstore-Bloomington, was held. Six students won $100 T.I.S. Bookstore gift certificates: Patrick Asdell, Paige Manley, Tyler Oswald, Kristie Salinas, Alison Schweizer, and Emily Tribbett.
In addition, Bryan Messersmith, an IU Bloomington junior and Riley High School graduate, presented some tips for a successful freshman year. Echoes of the IU Fight Song and Hail to Old IU could be heard at the conclusion of the event.
