Abstract
The National Council has accepted an invitation from the Delta Psi Chapter (Western Illinois University) to host the Society’s 47th Biennial Convention on WIU’s Quad Cities Campus – located in Moline, Illinois, on the east bank of the Mississippi River. The convention is scheduled for April 11–13, 2025, and planning is underway. The Friday afternoon through Sunday noon schedule is designed to minimize the number of class days that delegates would need to miss. The Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) serves the area. At this time, we encourage chapters to “save the date” and to start making plans for a delegate to attend. We welcome chapters to send more than one member if possible; chapter advisors are also welcome and encouraged to attend. In addition to being a lot of fun and a chance to expand networking—there will be field trip to explore the local geology on Saturday—the biennial conventions serve an important function in that the delegates set policy for SGE as a student-run organization. Your national officers advise and carry out the policies established at the national conventions. For this convention, the National Office will provide a $500 stipend for one official delegate from each active chapter. Alternates will receive stipends of $50. Chapter advisors participating in this meeting will receive $250 stipends. Stipends can be combined if your chapter would like to bring a group (e.g. – rent a van and travel together). Meals and lodging during the meeting will be provided. Complete details, including registration instructions, will be provided to chapters at a later date.
