2 The DELTA PSI SIG Pinewoods Educational Foundation Recognizes Scholarship Winners D uring Family Weekend in October, the Pinewoods Educational Foundation (PEF) recognized four outstanding undergraduate Delta Psi Sigs with $2,000 scholarships. Two scholarships were awarded from the Arch Love '50 Foundation to brothers meeting the criteria established by Brother Love: Scholarship, Demonstrated Leadership, and a high level of Service to both the fraternity and the community. Our four scholarship winners were: Aiden Gorby '20, Elijah Hinds '20, John Glendye '21, and two-time winner Joe Venusto '20! The Pinewoods Educational Foundation kicked off the 2018-19 academic year with the return performance of the "Resume and Interview Skills" workshop led by Dennis Powers '63 on September 15. We held the workshop on campus so we could (and did!) attract more non-Greeks. As in previous years, we solicited students' resumes in advance, and Brother Powers and I provided written feedback to the more than 30 participants. Many thanks to Dennis for the resume feedback and workshop, a training favorite specifically requested by the active brothers for early semester assistance with job and internship interviews. In Hoc Signo Vinces, Jim Manocchi '75 Pinewoods Educational Foundation President RPI Greek Task Force Update A draft version of the RPI Greek Task Force created September 2018 was made available in January 2019 at: info.rpi.edu/greek-life-task-force.
