Lambda Pi Eta

On Thursday, April 20, Lambda Pi Eta worked alongside the Communication Department to host the 2023 End-of-Year Celebration after a brief pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The festivities began at 6:30 PM with a fancy italian cuisine while students were able to chat with fellow classmates and deparment faculty. LPH President, Ethan Getchell, started with comments on the successes of Lambda Pi Eta including:

• Inducting more than 25 new members to LPH
• Establishing Comm Club
• Setting a clear set of goals to increase student engagement, development, and involvement

Ethan gave an emotional closing about being authentic and its importance to encourage growth as he then hands the leadership baton to new the LPH president: Zachary Carlson.
Junior Zac Carlson followed with goals for the future of LPH, Comm Club, and the department as a whole. So much to look foward to!

Throughout the rest of the evening, raffles for door prizes were drawn, department awards were given, and each professor gave statements highlighting the Senior's achievements. The event was an amazing and emotional send-off for each Senior

On Tuesday, April 18, students will be able to travel down to the Windty City and practice their networking abilities with Hope alumni current working in various fields.

"This is a great opportunity to get your name out there," Lambda Pi Eta Vice President, Zac Carlson, said. "Increases your chances of obtaining an internship or even a job opportunity perhaps!"

Earlier this month, president-elect Zachary Carlson and vice president-elect Hannah Zeilbeck conducted nine interviews with students to establish the new executive boards for both Lambda Pi Eta and Comm Club.

"We have three awesome Seniors graduating from our exec team," Zac said. "We want to make sure that their positions are filled in quickly so we can continue on what they have already accomplished."

Throughout the interviews, Zac and Hannah tried to find people who have ambition and a drive to make the Communication Department better than it already is. They asked questions about each interviewee's talents, and what they hope to personally achieve if they were to be elected.

After two days of interviews, nine students were elected to be on the exec teams.
