ACHS Faculty Advisor Grants
The Association of College Honor Societies has made available an Advisor Grant Program on the topic of Social Responsibility: The Power of the Association of College Honor Societies to Make a Difference.

Six $500 grants are available to faculty advisers, and proposals are due electronically by October 15, 2009. Go to
http://www.achsnatl.org and click on Adviser Grant Program on Social Responsibility for more details.
T-Shirt Design Contest
The purpose of the Psi Chi International T-Shirt Design Contest is to allow a Psi Chi chapter, student member, or alumni member the opportunity to design a t-shirt to be sold by the Psi Chi Central Office during the 2010-11 fiscal year (July 1-June 30). A total number of 120 t-shirts are guaranteed to be produced and sold, but the Psi Chi Central Office, at its discretion, can decide to produce and sell more than the original, 120-shirt, quantity. The Psi Chi Central Office will choose the winning design. The winning chapter or winning member’s chapter of record will receive ten free t-shirts in the sizes requested by the contest winner. If an alumni member’s design is chosen as the winner, the alumnus is guaranteed to receive one of the ten t-shirts. For more information, please see http://www.psichi.org/about/HomePage_Articles/T-Shirt.aspx
ONLINE CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR PSI CHI
The call for nominations for the 2010-11 Board of Directors will be done electronically through the Psi Chi website. On November 1, Psi Chi will email all chapters a Call for Nominations for Psi Chi Board Officers. A link to the nomination form will be provided and handled through your chapter's administrator login. Nominations will be accepted for President-Elect and Vice-President for three regions (Southeastern, Southwestern, and Midwestern).
All chapters may submit a nominee for President-Elect from the list of candidates who qualify for this position by having served at least two years within the last 10 years as a regional vice-president. The list of eligible candidates will be sent with the call for nominations. Each chapter may nominate one candidate from this list for the President-Elect position. Each nomination must be accompanied by two statements from the candidate. Nominations must be submitted by December 15, in order to be counted as valid.
In addition to President-Elect, chapters in three regions (Southeastern, Southwestern and Midwestern) may nominate an actively involved Psi Chi faculty advisor for the vice-president position in their region. Please include the email address of the candidate and a description of why you chose the individual to represent your region. After completing the form online, an email will be sent to your candidates acknowledging ?their acceptance of the nomination and requesting position and biographical statements.
