BOARD OF TRUSTEES' STATEMENT AGAINST RACIAL INJUSTICE AND ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION

As social scientists, we are deeply saddened by the horrific and blatant injustices many Americans have been experiencing, especially the unacceptable incidents of police brutality against Black people. While our words cannot take away the pain, we want our members to know that we stand unified and condemn all forms of discrimination prohibited by law including but not limited to age, disability, national origin, race/color religion and sex.

2020 TRIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION RESCHEDULED FOR 2021

The 2020 Triennial International Convention has been postponed and rescheduled for 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Convention will be held on November 4-6, 2021, in Washington, DC.

CALL FOR STUDENT PAPERS

Despite the fact that Pi Gamma Mu has been forced to postpone its 2020 Triennial International Convention for one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, student members are still encouraged to submit completed social science research papers for the 2020 Convention. Even though there will be no convention in November of this year, accepted papers can be listed in resumes as "Accepted but not presented, since the 2020 Convention was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

ACHS MEMBERSHIP PROTECTS THE LEGITIMACY OF HONOR SOCIETIES

Pi Gamma Mu is one of 70 members of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), which is the authority on standards and definitions for the honor society movement. ACHS has stepped up efforts to alert the higher education community to the standards of traditional honor societies. In contrast, some new so-called honor societies exist online and allow self-nomination, accepting fees with no questions asked. If in doubt about an organization, you can check out the ACHS Web site (www.achshonor.org) for the list of honor societies that are members.

Pi Gamma Mu communicates with its lifetime members via email. Anytime your email address changes, such as after graduation or when you change jobs, please notify the Pi Gamma Mu office immediately.

We will need both your old email address and your new email address to update our records. Thank you very much for taking a few minutes to keep your information current.
