I want everyone to know that the SHSU chapter of Golden Key International Honour Society has received a Gold Standing, the highest ranking that any chapter can earn each year. The chapter will be recognized at the end of the month at the Golden Key International Conference in Orlando. 3 delegates from the chapter will be attending to learn new ways to improve chapter activities, as well as receive updates from the national office.
Summer graduates can expect to begin seeing letters about honor cords and honor ribbons for the summer graduate August 8. Congratulations to everyone for their hard work. We look forward to fun and exciting events in the fall semester.

Finals Relief Party
Hello everyone!
The 1st ever SHSU Golden Key Finals Relief Party was a huge success! We had a good turnout and a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the free games and free food! I hope you got the opportunity to meet a lot of new people, as well as some sophomores who are eligible for induction next year.
We are hoping to do this event again for the Fall Finals, so look forward to that next semester. If you would like to look at some photos from the event, you can do so here:

Book Drive For Better Lives
Want to do something amazing with that textbook you can no longer use and the bookstore can’t buy back? We have a solution that benefits our campus, the earth, and students around the world! Seriously!
Be Green! Be responsible! Help out your fellow man by improving literacy in Africa while at the same time diverting these books from landfills.
Donate your unwanted college-level books published within the past 10 years (highlighting/writing in books is fine), and any books used in a college class to our book drive. SHSU Golden Key has partnered with Better World Books (www.betterworldbooks.com) to run a book drive that will benefit Books for Africa (www.booksforafrica.org) and we would love to have your support!
We have set up big green and orange collection boxes outside the Lowman Student Center starting May 4th, which will remain up until May 14th.
Books collected will be put up for sale online to raise a sustainable stream of funding for Books for Africa or sent directly to Africa. If the books cannot be donated or sold, they are at the very least recycled. Book drives like this one have earned over $1,700,000 for Books for Africa since 2003.
Thank you in advance for your help with our project – please spread the word to everyone you know!
-------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to volunteer for the aforementioned book drive, we are looking for your help. We need volunteers everyday for the entirety of the book drive who are willing to pass out information to people and ask people to drop off their books. We will have a meeting before the first day of the event. Please e-mail us (shsugoldenkey@gmail.com) if you would like to help, or if you have any questions.
Thanks!
