PUSH AMERICA TEAMS ARRIVE IN D.C.

The Journey of Hope and Build America teams have cycled and constructed their way across the country spreading awareness for people with disabilities, and have done so with great success. On Saturday, August 12, the Journey of Hope and Build America teams arrived at the Capitol building to a cheering crowd of more than 350 supporters, including family, friends, fellow Pi Kappa Phi members, fraternity volunteers and Push America volunteers. The arrival celebration culminated in an elegant banquet hosted at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill where master of ceremonies and former Journey of Hope cyclist Michael Baughman, Beta (Presbyterian College), provided inspiring words about Push America and its impact on Pi Kappa Phi.

 

As Push America’s teams traveled through 31 states, lives were touched all across America during “friendship visits.” During these visits Journey of Hope and Build America team members were able to interact with and make friends with people in the disability community.

NGCSU welcomes home students deployed to Iraq with 48th Brigade

 

DAHLONEGA (Aug. 29, 2006) – North Georgia College & State University’s students who were deployed for active duty with the Georgia Army National Guard’s 48th Brigade and spent a year in Iraq were honored at an Aug. 28 Welcome Home Ceremony on campus.

 

More than 60 students served in Iraq and returned home in May. A majority re-enrolled in classes at NGCSU, which started Aug. 23. More than 40 of the soldiers stood in formation together on the university drill field Monday afternoon during the military parade that took place in their honor

 

“To our returning veterans, we thank you for upholding the grand tradition of service to the nation that has characterized North Georgia for more than 130 years,” said NGCSU President David Potter. “We are delighted you have come back home to the United States and to your college. We all hope to learn from your experience. We know our Corps of Cadets will be enriched by your knowledge and your service.”
