Photos Up On Facebook

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Hello everyone. Over the last few weeks I’ve uploaded some 3400+ photos from 1995 - 2007 on Facebook.com. If any of you are interested in seeing this portion of my photo collection (I have a few thousand more pictures, but I probably won’t up load them) then go ahead and sign-up for a […]

Why I Donate to Sigma Pi Fraternity

Friday, December 21st, 2007

The folks at MSNBC.com finally posted something worth reading. The other day they had an article that talked about how charities are finding it harder to plug the holes in their budgets with donations. As someone who makes a lot of donations each year and also works in and studies the nonprofit industry, […]

NJ’s County Colleges See Enrollment Boost

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Earlier today a news brief was posted on the Daily Record’s website that spoke about the increase in students attending county colleges. Below is an excerpt of the release, which I’m sure will be made into a fuller article in the coming days:
The New Jersey Council of County Colleges says there are 158,152 students […]

A Sane Non-Decision for West Long Branch

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Every once in a while you find a court case that is just a complete waste of taxpayers’ money and the system’s time. From my view, the recent court case against Monmouth University to block the construction of a 196-bed dorm is a great example of waste. There was no need to go […]

Monmouth University & Long Branch to Formalize Invasion of Student Rights

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Today’s Atlanticville had an article about “improving relations” between Monmouth University and its surrounding municipalities - namely Long Branch. I love Long Branch and I think some exciting and creative things are going on over there. I’m also a university alumnus who fought vociferously for students’ rights while an undergraduate. I consider […]

2007 NJ Province Fall Workshop a Success!

On Sunday, September 23rd, over 110 undergraduates and more than a dozen alumni volunteers from Sigma Pi Fraternity gathered on the campus of Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.

The purpose of the annual fall workshop is […]

Corruption in Ocean Township!

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Many years ago, when I was an undergraduate at Monmouth University, a group of students and I led a public relations battle against Ocean Township and their excessive abuse of our civil rights as residents of the town. Police officers routinely opened our front door at all hours of the day and night and […]

Another Reason to Love Ocean Township…

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Some of you may remember last summer when I was repeatedly posting all of the bad things that happen in Ocean Township, New Jersey. My purpose was to constantly spin these “bad” news stories against the completely horrific manner in which Ocean Township singles out and goes after college students. Monmouth University students […]

On Being an Adjunct Political Science Professor

Friday, September 7th, 2007

This week marked my first week back in the university classroom. The difference this time around, though, is that now I’m serving as a humble Adjunct Professor and not a student. I’m only teaching one class called American National Government and I’ve only been at it for one week so far, but I […]

The Rider University Case - Here We Go Again

Friday, August 17th, 2007

For those of you that haven’t heard, there was a terribly tragic accident last spring at Rider University here in New Jersey. One of the fraternities on that campus had a “big brother/little brother” night and as one of their local traditions, each family tree had a family drink. Sticking to this local, […]

I’m Going to be an Adjunct Professor!

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

The other day I received a phone call from the Chair of my local university’s Political Science Department. She asked me if I would be interested in becoming an Adjunct Professor for one of their intro courses and, of course, I told her that I was interested.
After a few e-mails and some discussion, I’ll […]

Going Away to Nashville for a Few Days

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

For the next few days, I’ll be in Nashville, Tennessee for Sigma Pi Fraternity’s “Sigma Pi University” event. This event takes place every other year and serves as a training ground for both undergraduate leaders and alumni volunteers.
I will be presenting two separate workshops over the course of the weekend. The first is […]
