Government Relations

The government relations committee is seeking potential candidates, both collegians and alumnae, for our annual Congressional visits. In order to “reduce barriers to participate and allow more students the opportunity to better understand the work of the government relations committee, this year’s upcoming visit will be in virtual format April 13-15, 2021. Please send Government Relations Committee member Kristin Anderson Warner any names, chapter affiliations, and email addresses of women who are chapter chief executive officers (CEOs), Panhellenic Council presidents, student government leaders, or anyone who may have interned in a Congressional office (Senate or House) today, Tuesday, Dec. 8, if you think they may be interested in this opportunity to advocate on behalf of the fraternal experience. More information is available in the Jobs area in ThetaConnect.

Additionally, if you are an interested alumna, please email Kristin your and contact information and current alumnae role (if applicable). Alumnae applications will differ from student applications this year. You can always make an impact by donating to our continued efforts at http://fspac.org/.

Race, Class, and Campus Climate: The Chronicle of Higher Education Webinar

This year, as many colleges have pledged to confront systemic racism and inequity, they are focusing more attention on the experiences of students, faculty, staff of color, and first-generation students. College leaders say they want to create equitable and supportive environments for all. But what does a diverse, inclusive campus really look like, and how can colleges—even virtually—help foster a sense of belonging?

Can’t make it? Register for the webinar to have a recording of the session sent to your inbox.
