WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ MU Phi Eta Sigma (PES) Chapter has received the “Pathways Commendation of Excellence Award” for the second time, during the 42nd National Leadership Convention held in Charleston, SC on Oct. 11.
Students that maintain a 3.5 and higher GPA during their first semester at Monmouth are eligible to join the society. During the academic 2013-2014 year, the chapter inducted around 200 first-year students. Professor Golam Mathbor became adviser of the scholarly society in 2004. This society brings recognition of studens’ hard-work and talents at the University.
Sixteen chapter officers have attended the National Leadership Conventions over the past ten years, and Dr. Mathbor received the Distinguished Service Award in 2012. Dr. Mathbor notes, MU officers that have attended the National Conventions have always made him proud by their outstanding contributions serving the National Leadership workshops.
The chapter is proud to have the current Chapter President, Taylor Bernosky, to be one of only three students from colleges throughout the United States, elected to serve the National Executive Committee for the 2014-2016 period. This is the first time a Monmouth student has been elected to serve the highest legislative body of the society.
