This last Saturday, October 13, 2018, our chapter gathered to participate in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Alzheimer’s Walk! We also donated $500!
We challenge all Sigma Phi Omega Chapters to get involved and participate as well! Donate to the very worthy cause of finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.

On April 16th, the Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program held its annual Sigma Phi Omega (SPO) Induction and awards Celebration, at which time two students and 7 community partners were recognized and inducted. Our partners are professional leaders working towards improving the quality of lives for older adults and caregivers throughout Utah and will bring a richness to our chapter and SPO. Here is a picture from our induction including our inductees (who were able to attend) and Faculty (Dr. Kathie Supiano, Nanci McLeskey and Jackie Eaton).
| The Gamma Psi Chapter at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has had a busy year! Among other things, we raised over $2000 for the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of Dr. Jeannine Skinner, Assistant Professor of Gerontology and Psychological Sciences; supported local assisted living communities with fall festivals, painting fun, Valentines and St. Patrick’s Day activities; volunteered at a local County Dog Show to support Senior Games; and encouraged students to consider gerontology studies at university open houses and resource fairs. We also inducted ten new members into our chapter at our annual year-end event to celebrate student achievements and selected our 11th annual Outstanding Senior in Gerontology (who, of course, must be an active member of Sigma Phi Omega)! |
As with most universities, students at ESU love t-shirts. We have successfully sold aging themed t-shirts in the past and decided to do it again. The sale was very successful, as people throughout campus enjoyed our theme: Don’t be chicken, embrace aging.
