Period of Great Growth: Chapters Move from 123 to 150.

Excerpt from Notes from the President, PGM Newsletter, November 08: As we move toward this year’s Pi Gamma Mu Triennial Convention in Atlanta Georgia, it is time to review new priorities and progress over the last three years. Pi Gamma Mu membership has always been a favorable factor in members getting a job and is considered a plus in Federal Service. Our PI Gamma Mu Board of Trustees recently voted to work with the career service Experience to establish a Career Center for members. The new Pi Gamma Mu Career Center will enable student s and faculty advisers to search for jobs and internships on an extensive internet employment jobs listing service provided by Experience. We have experimented with the service and found the jobs national in scope and also found references on this service to be favorable. In addition to job search, the PGM Career Center will help students build portfolios as well as provide articles of guidance in contemporary professions. We expect the new PGM Career Service to be operational by the beginning of next academic year. We appreciate Sue Watters and the PGM Board of Trustees working with Experience to get this important career service operational. Read more >
