Dear Armstrong SAC Committee,
The students of the Professional Communications and Leadership program would like to
request permission to found a major-oriented club as a recognized student organization.
A petition of interest was used to gauge how many people might join the group if it were
created. Our petition garnered 15 names.
Also, we recently held a lunch-time Meet and Greet. Five people attend the event and
more expressed that they would be able to attend evening activities, if scheduled. We
have scheduled our second Meet and Greet for the evening of March 19 and already have
6 RSVP’s for the event.
This club affords many possibilities for giving back to the Armstrong community. Many
of our students are older and experienced in their fields and would be willing to share
their experiences with the undergraduate student body. We see the possibility of
serving as speakers and examples of leadership for undergraduate groups such as the
Nick Mamalakis Emerging Leaders program. This fosters participation from the PCL
students and serves as an example of community leadership for the undergraduate
students.
We also hope the club will serve as a bridge for building future alumni pride and
participation. The current alumni can reach out to guide the PCL club members and then
PCL can reach out to undergraduates. These are but a few of the possible ideas for how
this club might be useful to the Armstrong community.
We certainly appreciate your consideration in this matter. We look forward to answering
any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Jana S. Pierce
