MEMORY AND

ALUMNI NEWS
Thomas M. Popcheff '73 reports
that after 20 years of employment
with the Honor Society of Nursing,
Sigma Theta Tau International, Inc.,
he retired in December. "Prior to my
retirement, the society's board of di-
rectors nominated and approved my
induction as an honorary member.
Over the last 20 years, I served as the
society's director of administration
and the chief administrative officer
of its subsidiary, the IHSN Building
Corporation. I look forward to my re-
tirement years, and plan on spending
time traveling with my wife, Karen,
and watching our grandchildren par-
ticipate in school activities and sport-
ing events. My Beta experience was
instrumental in preparing me for a
long and successful career, but it's
now time to wind down a bit."
ALUMNI UPDATE
And as we finish the school year and look for-
ward to the return to campus in the fall, I am
reminded of the role of alumni in our recruit-
ment process. If you know of any young men
coming to Purdue that you think would be
good Betas, please provide their contact infor-
mation in a timely manner to VP of Recruit-
ment Evan Jamieson '21 at ejamieson2017@
gmail.com, or submit it through our web-
site, purduebeta.com/undergraduate-chapter/
recommendations.
Finally, I am reaching out to all alumni to solic-
it volunteers to join the board. We have a need
for general members as well as a treasurer (with
training). If you're interested in serving, please
contact me.
Yours in _kai_,
Tom Hoover '82
