CHALLENGE RESULTS

THANK YOU! The executive council of Psi Upsilon are pleased to announce the election of Brother James Volpentest as the newest member of the board of directors. Mr. Volpentest graduated from the University of Washington (Theta Theta ‘91) and brings extensive experience from a distinguished career in sales and management.

When asked what he would say to the undergraduates of today James Vopentest (Theta Theta ‘91), the father of a senior looking at colleges now, says, “You have these moments, a joke, an event and you don’t realize it but that’s life and it is who you are. Pay attention to those moments and don’t be in too much of a hurry to get to the next step in life.”

During his undergraduate years James pledged Psi Upsilon in the Fall of 1986. “Some of my favorite memories with the fraternity were during Greek Week,” said James. “It was a time when all of the chapter would come together. Even if you weren’t in the competition then you’d be on the sidelines cheering and we were all in it together. As a music lover I was always there for the Battle of the Bands.” James himself would often represent the chapter in these competitions for soccer and was a member of the University of Washington soccer team. While he originally joined the team as a walk on he was eventually granted a scholarship for his performance. In 1990 he was named Most Inspirational player and that same year served as the Vice President of Rush for the Theta Theta chapter helping to recruit a pledge class of thirty members.

After college James met and married Cindy Morgan with whom he has shared his life.

James is the proud father of two with one daughter and

LinkedIn James spent eleven years at Oracle Corporation, similarly in executive positions focused on growing the business.

Over the years James has maintained contact with many brothers and describes some of the young men who he attended 1 college with as his best friends that he still is in regular contact with. When his home chapter sponsored the national convention in 1986 he attended and he has attended multiple smaller events in his current home city of San Francisco. James says “Psi U has been a constant in my life for the last 36 years.” This relationship has continued to recently when James was elected as the newest member of the Board of Directors.

For the executive board James looks forward to finding ways to contribute and move the leadership of Psi Upsilon to reflect the brotherhood and society as a whole. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have many great teachers and learn about how gender and ethnic diversity can add strength to an organization,” said James. During his time at LinkedIn James became certified in various diversity courses such as “Confronting Racism” and “Confronting Bias: Thriving Across our Differences” as well as many others. He speaks highly of how this training has helped him as a manager and as a human being and hopes to help lead Psi Upsilon in this direction. In addition to diversifying the leadership, James hopes to focus on programs that help all members, both graduates and undergraduates, to network with the brotherhood. “So many of my opportunities in life have come from contacts and networking,” says James, “ and the brotherhood is a huge membership from all walks of life.

Being able to access that network gives a leg up in the world that cannot be passed up.”

“Psi U has been a constant in my life for the last 36 years....So many of my opportunities in life have come from contacts and networking...The brotherhood is a huge membership from all walks of life. Being able to access that network gives a leg up in the world that cannot be passed up.”

- James Volpentest one son. His son is currently finishing his senior year and preparing for college. During his free time James enjoys music including a “love-hate” relationship to playing guitar.

His college days love of soccer continues with many years of coaching soccer and specifically coaching soccer goalkeepers in his local community.

James recently began a new position as Senior Sales Director for Front, a technology firm specializing in software and services for businesses to manage their customer service. Prior to his current position James spent twelve years at LinkedIn serving in various executive capacities. During his time at LinkedIn James would serve many roles including Vice President of Sales.

Voices FromThe Next Generation OF PSI U Share Why They Younger Donors Support Psi U In Their Own Words

MADISON TURKETTE, Delta Omicron ‘19 (Purdue) Madison played a key roll her chapters’ strong performance in the March Challenge.

Current Role and Company?

I am currently a mortgage underwriter with Guaranteed Rate.

What does being a Psi U mean to you today?

Emulating our values and showing society what it means to be an alumni of Psi Upsilon.

I strive to help out my community and assist wherever I can, whether it be giving donations or spending my time volunteering.

Being able to reflect on what I learned while growing my chapter and from other alumni has helped me stay knowledgeable on what is truly worth spending my time on--and I would like to return that favor to the other brothers and recently graduated alumni as well.

Why do you give?

I give so that our active brothers can have the same (and better) opportunities I had while at Purdue University. I hope one day many will return and grant these opportunities to the active membership in kind.

How do you stay connected to brothers?

I stay connected to my chapter by communicating through discord and playing video games with a majority of the active brothers of Delta Omicron. I plan on spending more in-person time with my chapter beginning Fall 2022. I have also been going to as many conventions as I can in a row, and hope to keep up the streak as I continue my adventure.

Do you have a favorite Psi U Program?

My favorite program is the Speaker Series. I enjoy listening to the speakers and learning something new each time I can make an event!

In 1 sentence, may I have a quote from you on why is it important to support Psi U? Supporting Psi U is like supporting your family, except this family is one you can choose.

OMAIR SARWAR, Xi ‘06 (Wesleyan) Omair started his giving in 2010.

Current Role and Company?

Partner, Head of Software Practice, SFW Capital Partners.

What does being a Psi U mean to you today?

To me, Psi Upsilon provides the ability to interact with diverse set of professionals that share common values.

Why do you give?

I make gifts to insure that future generations benefit from a set of experiences and a feeling of community that were helpful to me in my formative years.

How do you stay connected to brothers?

Most of my connection is informal these days, although I did participate as a speaker at the Gilrane Economic Symposium in Greenwich, CT, in December of 2021.

Do you have a favorite Psi U Program?

I enjoy the Virtual Speaker Series, and the publications and wofk from writers and our content creators.

SUPPORT

JESSIE NEWMAN, Gamma Tau ‘13 (Georgia Tech) Jessie has been a consistent supporter with gifts to the Fraternity and Foundation since 2010.

Current Role and Company?

Algo Engineer at Hudson River Trading What does being a Psi U mean to you today?

Psi U means having a connection to the people who came before me and the people who will come after me. It gives me a venue to seek advice from people who’ve been where I am, and a chance to help others who are still getting here.

Why do you give?

I give to support alumni network events.

These events help me build connections with awesome people in the area and I’d love to see them continue.

How do you stay connected to brothers?

I visited the Georgia Tech chapter and alumni a few months ago after having not been by for years. Despite how long it had been, it felt like no time had passed. I caught up with so many alumni, and even though I’d never met any of the actives, they were incredibly welcoming. Now that the pandemic is over, I hope to start visiting more regularly again.

Do you have a favorite Psi U Program I’m a huge fan of the Psi U scholarships!

In 1 sentence, may I have a quote from In 1 sentence, may I have a quote from you on why is it important to support you on why is it important to support Psi U? Psi U?

PSI U CONNECTS GRANT BRINGS DR. BARBARA HENDRIE TO U. OF WISCONSIN MADISON The Psi Upsilon Foundation awards a reimbursement grant to deserving chapters (or groups of chapters) who want to produce educational programs or workshops both in-person and virtually. Recipients may use the funds, up to $1,000, (~$4,000 total annually for the program) to pay for hospitality, event space, facilitator/speaker fees, travel and lodging needs, production of materials, etc.

Early in March 2022, at the UN Environment Assembly, diplomats from 175 nations voted unanimously to create a legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution. The Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) called it “the most significant environmental multilateral deal since the Paris accord.”

Dr. Barbara Hendrie, Kappa ‘80 (Bowdoin), is the 2022 Psi Upsilon Social Impact Fellowship Honorary Fellows, and she was in the room. Barb is the director of UNEP’s North America Office, and on the evening of March 24th she spoke to UW– Madison students and faculty about the consequences of plastic pollution, as well as the importance of the resolution earlier this month.

“What I saw in Nairobi, what I was privileged to witness, is that global cooperation among nations to solve our collective problems is possible, but it needs to be enabled and motivated by action at local and regional level,” Hendrie said. “At that moment the gavel came down at the UN Regional Assembly, everyone felt an almost-euphoric sense of accomplishment in what we can achieve together when we put our minds to it.”

Inspired by learning about Dr. Hendrie’s presentation during the Psi U speaker

fraternity, Psi Upsilon, of which Hendrie was a member at her undergraduate university. The Office of Sustainability, including student intern Natalie Tinsen, provided additional support for the event.

Calvin writes, “I gave her a walking tour which featured the Rho house and several landmarks on campus and escorted her to the introductory environmental studies class for one of the faculty sponsoring where she said a few inspiring words to the students, followed by dinner with everyone on the team involved with the event. I cannot stress enough how grateful ever yone was to have the support from Psi Upsilon and for the Foundation’s role in bringing Barb to campus...

It feels like ages ago that we first started

series and their relationship as brothers of Psi U, Calvin Floyd, Rho ‘22, applied for a Connects Grant and asked for help contacting Dr. Hendrie.

The title of Hendrie’s lecture, “Tackling Environmental Challenges (Including Plastic Pollution) Globally and Locally,” reflects UNEP’s emphasis on global and local approaches to sustainability.

According to its website, the organization “sets the environmental agenda,” “I considered myself an informed, “promotes intelligent citizen, and I cared about the coherent environmental issues like any other implementation person,” she said in the Q&A. “But it … of sustainable was only really when I started working development within the United at UNEP and started reading material Nations system,” … and hearing the statistics … I did and “serves as not understand how significant these an authoritative challenges are and how interrelated they are. It was a shock, advocate for really. It was a shock... “This is a statistic that actually really the global environment.”. woke me up to the problem: it is estimated that by the year In her lecture 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish,” she Hendrie continued. “That sounds pretty shocking, and it is.” emphasized - Dr. Barbara Hendrie, Kappa ‘80 (Bowdoin) the scale of plastic pollution, which increased drastically in the past half-century: today working out this event. Thank you so much there are 8.3 billion tons of plastic on earth, for making this happen, it’s been a dream 6 billion of which is waste. Only 9 percent come true and it has proven to me the of single-use plastics are recycled globally, strength of our brotherhood.”

Hendrie said, and only 7 percent in the After dinner, the campus event was a United States. huge success, attended by brothers/ Hendrie, one of six regional directors alumni of the Rho, student leaders, and on the UN Environment Programme’s faculty numbering over 50 in total.
