WEBINAR: Ross Szabo on Belonging vs. Fitting In
As part of our continuing Mental Health & Wellness educational initiatives and Conclave education, we are excited to have Ross Szabo present on October 6 from 8 - 9 PM ET during National Mental Illness Awareness Week.
Ross Szabo’s achievements in the youth mental health field have earned him the Didi Hirsch Removing the Stigma Leadership Award and his advocacy work was entered into the Congressional Record by Congressman Patrick Kennedy. Their #1 message goal is to help demonstrate the difference between belonging and fitting in along with building awareness of and appreciation of mental health and wellness. We believe that a strong sense of belonging (vs. fitting in) correlates with happy, healthy, and low-risk chapters.

December may mean colder weather, but it is also a time of good food and better football. With the holidays just around the corner, we would love for you to kick-off your December with brothers and friends as Acacia cordially invites you for an evening of alumni Brotherhood.
The New England area is packed with men of the black and old gold. In fact. there are close to a couple hundred in and around the city of Boston alone. That said, our Headquarters Staff will be in the city during the first week of December as part of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors education series.
While we are in town, we would also like to take the time for furthering our mission to strengthen the ties of friendship... meaning we would like to cordially extend an invitation for you to join us at The Blackmoor Bar + Grill on Thursday, December 1st from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
