SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: The Power of the Association of College Honor Societies to Make a Difference - A Chapter Leadership Project
Yongsheng Wang,
Washington & Jefferson College
The Pennsylvania Alpha Omicron chapter at Washington & Jefferson College was the recipient of one of six $500 awards given out by the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS). The ACHS offered an advisor grant program to encourage cross-campus collaboration and new initiatives among student organizations related to social responsibility. The Seven Wonders of the Socially Responsible World includes Peace and Security, Education, Environment, Health, Social Justice, Prosperity and Innovation/Technology.
The chapter sponsor, Dr. Yongsheng Wang, chose a project that will promote the notion of social responsibility among students and enhance students' understanding of society outside campus. Activities will be conducted to support Animal Friend's Inc. and Homeless Children's Education Fund. Congratulations!
