This year, the international convention was in Grapevine, Texas. Our chapter sent 5 of our members, Ashley (co-president), Jonathan (VP of fundraising), and new members Rachel, Yvette and Clayton. The advisors that came were Professor Roscelli and one of our newest advisors, Professor Swanson. The convention was extremely successful as we won multiple awards for our achievements and learned a lot about future events we can do and how to make them successful. Our members and advisors went to multiple educational forums in order to learn about different aspects of the honor society and on the last day, we held a meeting to report back to the group everything we learned and how we can make our chapter even stronger next year. We were fortunate this year to see two keynote speakers - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (environmental activist) and Dr. Fareed Zakaria (CNN correspondent). Both speakers taught us a lot about the world we live in and what we can do to improve it. We hope our chapter can do as well next year, if not better!
