LYCEUM TV GUIDE: BINGE WATCHING FOR CHAPTER SUCCESS

Lyceum is a great opportunity for chapter presidents to attend a 6 week leadership course to encourage them to develop their skills in varying areas. We ask that chapter presidents and a person who is specialized in the certain content area attend these workshops. For example Week 1 speaks about Annual Report, so the chapter president and the person in charge of Annual Report should be in attendance.  In order to receive Annual Report credit for your chapter you would have to be attend 4 out of 6 of the workshops. Workshops will be held bi-weekly on Mondays at 12PM starting January 26, 2016 in room 411 of the College Avenue Student Center.
