Behind the Scenes at MTM


This blog is a day-to-day update of what is going on in Mu Tau Mu. Eventually we'll move the older journal entries from our livejournal space but for now to read the archives (entries prior to May 19, 2005), head over to http://www.livejournal.com/users/amzmtm/.

Things you'll hear about here include notification that new photos or other items are posted on our private website (more about the site is here), more detail on our activities than you see in our month-by-month history blog, news from Case, news from the collegiate chapter, news from Alpha Chi Omega at large, and occasionally fun new ideas on their way to implementation. Links to the private site will take you directly to the item mentioned.

Commencement at Case Western Reserve

Congratulations to our fifteen CWRU Alpha Chi Omega graduates: Erika, Jillian, Rose, Rachel, Preethy, Chelsae, Jen, Katelin, Christine, Amy, Stephanie, Allison, Abigail, Samantha and Kelli.

Katie Couric was the Commencement speaker:

It was wonderful to hear about her connections to Case Western Reserve, her work combating colon cancer and thoughts on courage, kindness, service and volunteerism!

Women's History Month International Women of Courage

Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Alpha Chi Omega alumna and fellow Browns fan (I had to throw that in there) established an award in 2007 recognizing women leaders internationally and their work in effectively dealing with women's issues. This is the only Dept of State award for women alone. That's pretty amazing.   This is the link: http://www.state.gov/g/wi/iwoc/  

Secretary's International Women of Courage Award

To mark International Women's Day, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice established the annual International Women of Courage Award in March of 2007 to recognize women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and advancement.

This is the only Department of State award that pays tribute to emerging women leaders worldwide, and offers a unique opportunity to recognize those who work in the field of international women's issues.
