The following students were inducted:
Holding flameless candles, the inductees were brought into the room by Erika Medina, chapter secretary, who served as marshall for the event. Emma Heineman, chapter president, received the inductees following AMG ritual and everyone sat down. Yvette Fuentes, Ph.D., faculty adviser gave a short welcome address. Following her address, Medina, gave a brief history of Alpha Mu Gamma and its symbols. The initiation ceremony was then led by Heineman, and following the pledges, students read “The Golden Bough” poem. Certificates, pins, and graduation cords were distributed by Fuentes and Medina. After some closing remarks by Fuentes, a group picture was taken and a small reception was held for inductees and members.
The NSU chapter of AMG was chartered in fall 2019 but because of COVID-19, the first and second induction ceremonies were held virtually. This year’s induction ceremony was a joyous occasion for AMG members and their faculty adviser.

RT students celebrate Respiratory Care Week 2021.
The Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy (BSRT) students celebrated Respiratory Care Week during October 20th-26th. Health care facilities designate this week to respiratory therapists to acknowledge and thank them for their contribution as a vital member of the healthcare team. Their essential need has never been more apparent than during the Covid 19 pandemic which has led to a severe shortages of RTs across the U.S.
BSRT Student Government officers began the weeklong celebration by handing out gift bags to students, faculty, and staff at their campus entrance. Gift bags included candy, pens, and an inspirational message. Their goal was to raise awareness about the respiratory therapy profession and the BSRT program which is located at the Palm Beach Gardens campus.
The week ended with a respiratory therapy student luncheon with catered food and drinks, and a personalized cake to honor their future profession. Students played games, gave away prizes, and had the opportunity to socialize with other cohorts. The event motivated and energized the students as they continue their journey in becoming future RTs.

On November 7, Nova Southeastern University’s Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to hold the Out of Darkness Community Walk. Scott Poland, Ed.D., professor at the College of Psychology and director of the Suicide and Violence Prevention Office at NSU, provided the opening address. The Out of Darkness walks are dedicated to providing a supportive community for those who have lost a friend or loved one to suicide, and to raising funds for suicide awareness and prevention.
The event represented a welcome return to in-person community walks after a year of social-distanced activities. More than750 participants took part, individually or as teams. Thanks to the hard work of participants, volunteers, and staff, the event raised more than $75,000. These funds will be used for research, education, advocacy, and support for those impacted by suicide. In addition to the incredible work of the sorority, several NSU organizations including NSPIRE (Nova Students for the Prevention and Intervention of Suicide and Response to Emergencies), the Office of Suicide and Violence Prevention, and MIND (Mental Illness New Directions) tabled at the event to raise awareness regarding mental health difficulties.
