Chi Delta Rho
Written by: President, Corrine Wolff
Chi Delta Rho has had a semester of professional development and service events. The Chi Sigma Iota conference was held at the end of April on Marywood University's campus. Chi Delta Rho also committed to 2 service events. First, we collaborated with CHSA at Take Back the Night. This was the first time the graduate honor society participated in the pre-rally on the Dionne Green. We provided students with psychoeducational handouts and discussions on healthy relationships, dating relationships and warning signs of dating violence. Also, we provided students with a handout on an array of services where students can receive services if they need support and help. The honor society also hosted a hygiene and personal care drive for the Leahy Clinic. This drive collected a multitude of items, such as shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, and feminine need products. All of these donations will be donated to the Leahy Clinic and dispersed for clients who receive services at the clinic. The induction for new members of Chi Delta Rho is being held May 26th. New Inductees: Kelli Cali, Sarah Halpin, Kayla Kinney, Joseph Mancini, Aidan Marich, Molly Piazza, Ashley Rempe, Ashely Richards, Sara Studenski, Cassie Benscoter, Marsinlen Blackwell, Kathleen Brown, Perry Cross, Kaylene Falco, Gwyneth Hecht, Rebecca Houser, Lisa Kerr, Brittany Kringer, Andrea Lynch, Dana Marmo, Thomas Mitchell, Tara Morcom, Catherine Sangi,, Kathryn Soeder, Kyle Strobel, Kristen Thomas, Luke Vitagliano, Jenny Wildrick, Alyshia Bixler, Brittany Anderson, & Amanda Crowley New Officers: President– Kristen Thomas; Vice President– Andrea Lynch; Secretary– Katie Soeder; Treasurer – Kaylene Falco; CMHC Liaison– Ashley Rempe; RC Liaison– Kathleen Brown; SC Liaison– Santina Wesolowski

TUA has spent this semester reflecting upon this past school year and hopes for the future. Last semester, the officers organized a Thanksgiving pie and baked goods fundraiser and raised money for the Leahy Clinic. In addition to this fundraiser, they also Secretary, Allison Smith (left); Dr.Datti; & President, participated in the peanut butter, jelly and cracker contest with Katherine Sara at the PCPS Community Celebration Chi Delta Rho and CHSA and made baskets with these items to donate to the Leahy Clinic. This current semester has been revolving around preparing for the new inductees. In May, we will induct 12 new members into TUA with a ceremony to celebrate and recognize their accomplishments. With these new inductees, we are hoping to do more fundraising for the Leahy Clinic or a refugee family in Scranton. We are also looking forward to making some CHS swag (baseball caps) for new and current members as well as their families. When looking into the future, we are hoping to expand TUA’s involvement within the CHS department. Some proposed ideas include a retreat at Chapman Lake for CHS majors to reflect on what it means to be a human service major and have more alumni involvement in the honor society. This could provide students with contacts working in the field who could give them a realistic perspective on human service careers and opportunities beyond the University of Scranton. We are very proud of the changes TUA has made this past year and are looking forward to welcoming this year’s inductees into this society. We expect to see great growth within TUA’s outreach and involvement within the CHS department at the University of Scranton. New Inductees: Marissa DiBella, Jessica Liane Goncalbes, Kelly A. Walsh, Delia Casey Gabin, Emily Madelyn Dolores Mulhaul, Gina N. Spohr, Mara Catherine Wolfe, Caroline Laabs, Klaudia Bialy, & Natalie Kern
