Phi Zeta Research Day will be Tuesday,
March 4, 2003. There will be no classes in the afternoon for the
students in the first three years of the curriculum, and
minimization of clinical activities on that afternoon for the 4th
year students. This will be the third time we have dedicated a
half day to the Phi Zeta presentations and Posters. The turn out
and feedback was excellent the previous two years, and we hope
that it will be even better this year.
-
The Phi Zeta Banquet will be in the Union
"Flint Hills Room" at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, March 4, 2003. We
encourage as many people as possible to attend. The banquet will
feature a buffet line with choice of meat and vegetarian entrees
as well as vegetables, salad and desert. The cost will be $20.00
per person, and you may send a check made out to Phi Zeta to John
Pickrell (see trailer below) at this time if you so desire. The
