National Organization Updates

Looking for National Bigs

Our latest Interest Group at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) will be colonizing on April 2, 2022 with 19 Founding Members!

We are putting out a call for National Bigs! Any Active or Alum who is interested in mentoring or getting to know one of the Sigma Colony members, please apply through the application linked on the full article. Applications close on March 19, 2022.

FAQs for the National Big Program can be found at the top of the application as well. Please contact Misty at ndoe@ask-wits.com with any questions.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

After doing more research and getting additional quotes, the NBoD put the question to a vote and BeParallel was selected by the Delegation as the company we will work with on furthering diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for our organization. Work is being done to finalize details for rolling this out in 2022.

National Board Transitions

NBoD transistions, following elections at our National Convention, happened over the last few months of 2021. Atisha Morrison (NDoA) and Kellee Hartjen (NDoE) worked with Piper Blackburn and Misty Lam, respectively, who took their NBoD positions on January 1, 2022.

Welcome New Chapters

The Rho Chapter at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida was installed on October 2, 2021! You may follow them at their Instagram page at @usfask.

On February 12, 2022 the Pi Chapter at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts was installed as our newest chapter! Follow them on Instragram at @bualphasigmakappa.

Please send warm wishes and a welcome to these chapters!

Seeking Leadership Consultants

Leadership consultants are an important part of the structure of our National Organization and a great way to get involved nationally as a new graduate or established Alum looking to take on new leadership. Each Leadership Consultant works with three Active Chapters on their goals, helps them navigate leadership roles, and the ever expanding National Organization. There are no leadership prerequisites for this position so any current Alum (or Spring 2022 Alum) is welcome and encouraged to apply.

Applications opened in January and are due April 5. Use the forms linked in the full article to apply or nominate a Member.

Any questions can be directed to either Morgan (ndoo@ask-wits.com) or Piper (ndoa@ask-wits.com).

Census Underway

Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies has completed our first census! We hope this gives us a better picture of the individuals who make up our great organization: to better inform expansion decisions, improve communication, and build a vision with everyone in mind.

Thank you to all those who completed the census. The survey closed November 1, 2021. The data is starting to be analyzed. Stay tuned in the coming months for more information.

National Award Nominations

Nominations are now open (through May 31) for our annual National Awards, honoring those who demonstrate excellence in the Organization, academia and their professional fields. Visit the form linked in the full article to provide your detailed nomination for a deserving Sibling. Winners will be announced at Convention.
