Gamma and Gamma Alumni Chapters cordially invite you to attend Phi U Conclave 2020
in Columbus, Ohio, October 1-3!

Your planning committee members have met several times to create a program in
which dynamic featured speakers will address social issues of the day, and through our
national service project, you can personally help! Indeed, we can live the theme, “Our
Light Shines Brighter Together in Service and Leadership!”

You will participate in round tables, hear peer panelists, view exhibits, and exchange
with other attendees to learn more about Phi U, your officer and member roles,
professional opportunities, and build lasting friendships.

Plan your travel for early arrival before noon on Thursday to attend a preconference
tour of OSU campus and some special activities. If not, part of the full program includes
a tour of Columbus and its unique communities with highlights not only of our history
but the vibrant growth of the city in river front, housing, sports ventures, and more,
including the National Veterans Memorial. During Conclave, you are in store for fun and
fellowship!

You will have the opportunity to recognize award and scholarship winners, which we
hope will inspire you to take that energy back to your chapters, and perhaps, personally
be challenged to apply for scholarships and have some ideas to expand your chapter’s
program of work and service projects. And of course, top of the list is extending Ohio
“buckeye” hospitality to our attendees with some special registration items, a unique
gift at our opening Buckeye night dinner, and a welcoming and caring spirit throughout
Conclave! Won’t you join us!

Phi Upsilon Omicron is always teaching members
to achieve lifelong learning, and with my passion for
costuming, I applied to graduate school to further my
education. I can proudly say that I have accepted admission
into the College Conservatory of Music at the University of
Cincinnati.

I will be working toward a Masters of Fine Arts in
Theatre, Design, and Production for Costume Design and
Technology in Fall 2020.

I am looking forward to utilizing the tools I have learned
during my three years in Phi Upsilon Omicron as I begin
my next journey in my professional career. I want to strive
in costuming as I continue to achieve “lifelong learning,”
“leadership building,” as well as “ethical and scholastic
excellence.”
