The Beta Epsilon Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta welcomed 7 new members into the organization on Wednesday. Junior's Colleen Clemence, Ashley Dalton, and Sarah Stoffer joined Senior's Kristin Klima, Melissa Lindstrum, and Monica Stahl (new inductee Amanda Struhar was unable to attend) as the latest inductees. In addition to the induction of new members, LPH Seniors received their honor cords for their upcoming graduation ceremony in May.

Associate Dean Dean Meyer gave an inspirational speech to the audience. In addition to members of LPH and family and friends of the new inductees, Interim Dean Ana Garner, CMST faculty Feldner, Goldzwig and Turner were on hand for the ceremony.

The Spring 2006 Bake Sale was a success once again. We raised over $110 for our general fund. Thanks to all the members who helped out by providing goods for sale and manned the table throughout the day.

This past weekend, the officers of Lambda Pi Eta, joined faculty members from the Communication Studies Department at the 2006 Central States Communication Conference in Indianapolis, IN. The conference provided a unique experience for the officers to see and hear about current research in the field of communication by faculty, graduate students, and even some undergraduate students from around the Midwest. The trip was made possible through a generous gift of $500 by Interim Dean Ana Garner of the J. William and Mary College of Communication, which helped to defer some of the expenses.
