Wines from Australia, Germany, France and the U.S., hors d'oeuvres and desserts will be featured. The wine tasting will be conducted by Kevin Driscoll of the Premier Center in Kenmore. Chairs of the event are Marie and Robert Coburn. Committee members are Janet Fedor, Jean Jain and Julie Cohan. All proceeds will be used to provide awards to UB students through the Grace Capen Academic Award Fund.
Guests are welcome.
Chief sources for nominations are departmental nominations, self-nominations and a computer printout from Records and Registration indicating students who meet the credit hour and GPA thresholds. Typically, seniors are nominated, but a small number of juniors also are elected annually. In addition to selecting new members, the Omicron Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa makes two monetary awards to distinguished students. A self-addressed envelope must be provided for materials to be returned. Following a dialogue with Yaro on these issues, participants at the session will generate action steps in land use and planning for the Western New York region.
