New scholarship available from the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter

$500 awards are being offered to full-time students who have completed
service-learning projects.  The goal in offering this award is complete the
learning process started by CASE grants.  CASE grants encourage students to
propose and carry out service-learning projects.  The Carter-Kellogg
Scholarship encourages students to reflect critically upon that project.
Specifically, applicants are asked about their experiences in the community
and the impact it had on the population that was served.

You can read more about the scholarship and how to apply at

Beta Theta Pi

Beta Theta Pi is a national social fraternity that has a large emphasis on leadership development.  The chapter of Virginia Tech offers some great outlets for becoming an outstanding leader in our community.  Many members are involved in and lead organizations on campus like Inter-fraternity Council (IFC), Student Government Association, Relay for Life, and Big Event.  Members are also orientation leaders and counselors from the newly created Hokie Camp Program.  More information about the fraternity and the seven leadership development opportunities they offer their members can be found at www.betathetapi.org.  If you would like any more information about the chapter here at Virginia Tech please feel free to contact the president and fellow RLC participant Danny Raynes (draynes@vt.edu) or their recruitment chair Bradley de Wet (dewetb@vt.edu).
