This past Monday, February 11th, Zeta hosted 27 professors and 41 girls at Zeta’s Professor Dinner. Professor dinner is a unique tradition at Zeta in which girls get the opportunity to invite their favorite, or hardest, professor to the Zeta house for dinner. We began hosting Professor Dinner in the hopes of improving student-teacher interactions, making our large university seem a little smaller, and approaching your professor feel a little less intimidating. Guests dined on wonderful beef short ribs, potato and fontina cakes, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts and spinach salad all prepared by our wonderful Chef Holly. During dinner we enjoyed a speech from the chapter’s philanthropy chair, Michelle Hecht, who shared with our professors some of the great philanthropic events we participate in, as well as a speech from the University’s assistant dean of students, Mary Beth Mercatoris. Dr. Mercatoris gave a though provoking speech about planning for our futures and resume building, and concluded by opening up the floor for other professors to give us advice as well. We wrapped up the evening with Italian cream cakes and coffee, and as most professors said their good byes, Maddy McGlamery’s professor even stayed an extra hour for some one-on-one tutoring. It was a successful night for all!
