FHU Alpha Chi National College Honor Society Elects Officers, Plans Events for School Year

The Freed-Hardeman University chapter of Alpha Chi National College Honor Society recently announced its new officers for the 2022-23 school year. The new leaders said they are hard at work planning events for the upcoming fall semester.

Casey Jackson, a senior elementary education major, will serve as president. Bowman Blocker, a senior majoring in finance, and Lydia Todd, a senior majoring in psychology, will serve as vice-presidents. Emily Christensen, a senior majoring in communications sciences and disorders, will serve as treasurer.

The chapter's first event will be a one-day conference Sept. 9. During the conference, students will discuss academic motivation.

In addition, the chapter will partner with Remote Area Medical to provide a pop-up dental clinic from Sept. 30 - Oct 1. Cameron Kuhl, a member of Alpha Chi, applied for and received a chapter grant for this activity from Alpha Chi. Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a major nonprofit provider of free pop-up clinics. Its mission is to prevent pain and alleviate suffering by providing free, quality healthcare to those in need. They deliver free dental, vision and medical services to underserved and uninsured individuals. Since RAM was founded in 1985, nearly 183,000 volunteers - comprised of professional practitioners, as well as general support staff - have treated more than 888,500 individuals and delivered more than $181.5 million worth of free healthcare services.

Alpha Chi's leadership team and members are excited to increase their campus presence and serve FHU and the surrounding community in scholarship and service.
