Springfield College
Pi Gamma Mu Honor Society
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pi Gamma Mu?
Pi Gamma Mu is an international honor society that recognizes undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated academic excellence in the social sciences. The honor society was founded in 1924 by Dean
Leroy Allen of Southwestern College in Kansas and Dean William A. Hamilton of the College of William and
Mary in Virginia. Today the honor society has chapters at 170 colleges and universities and has over 200,000 members.
Does SHS have a Pi Gamma Mu chapter?
Yes! Springfield College’s School of Human Services has established a chapter of Pi Gamma Mu. The purpose of the chapter is to recognize undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated academic excellence in the social sciences, specifically in the field of human services. Each campus will hold an event, during the 2008-2009 academic year, to recognize new members of the honor society. Students should check with the Campus Director at their campus regarding detailed information on the recognition event.
What are the qualifications for membership?
Any student of good moral character may be elected to membership by a majority vote of Springfield College
School of Human Services’ chapter of Pi Gamma Mu by current members, with approval of faculty sponsors provided that:
 Undergraduate students have accumulated at least eighty-four (84) credits, including at least twelve (12) credits in social science courses and have a grade point average of at least a 3.90.
 Graduate students within the Organization Management and Leadership (OML) and the Community
Counseling Psychology (CCP) concentrations must have accumulated at least twenty-four (24) credits in social science courses and have a grade point average of at least a 3.90.
 Graduate students within the Mental Health Counseling (MHC) concentration must have accumulated at least forty-two (42) credits in social science courses and have a grade point average of at least a 3.90.
 Students are not eligible who have any academic failure in coursework within the disciplines described in the paragraph below.
 The present requirement of social science courses for both undergraduate and graduate students is defined to include studies in the disciplines of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, international relations, criminal justice, social work, psychology, social philosophy, history of education, and human/cultural geography (all courses with prefixes of ADST, CJWB, CYDL, ECED, HUSB, SHSE,
MCCP, MGER, MMHC, and MOML).

Social Science Review and the Pi Gamma Mu Newsletter , a membership card, a gold-plated key pin, and a certification of membership.

March 7 – April 20, 2009
Registration for summer 2009 classes
May 1, 2009
Last day to add courses for the summer term
June 1, 2009
Degree applications due for August applicants
*Please refer to the Add/Drop and Withdrawal Policies in the 2008-2009 SHS Student Handbook
on pages 7-8 (handbook provided at orientation or at the Student Services Office).
IMPORTANT NOTES
If you are planning to hand in a portfolio:
To graduate in May, it must be in by January 1 st
To graduate in August, it must be in by May 1 st
To graduate in December, it must be in by September 1 st
If a student misses more than one class session, she/he must withdraw from the course or subsequently will be given an F for the course.
If a student is unable to attend a class session for any reason, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor.
Reminder
The deadline to adjust your summer 2009 schedule online is April 20, 2009.
After this date you will need to speak with your advisor and receive an add/drop or withdraw form.
Financial Aid
You must take at least six credits (undergrad) & five credits (grad) to receive any financial aid.
SHS CLASS ANNOUNCEMENTS Page 9

From the Academic Services Office
If your advisor recommends a course that you think you could write about (claim), do not take that class. Wait until you take HSPD and make an informed decision. For example, if you know a lot about computers, do not take a computer class.
What does ―experiential learning‖ mean?
―Experiential learning‖ is what you have learned from living your life, not from reading a book or sitting in a classroom. For example, if you are a parent, then you may have learned effective parent/child relationships. If you are a case manager, then you may have learned to do intakes and referrals.
How do I get credit for experiential learning?
You can earn credit by taking the Human Services Portfolio Development (HSPD) course. This course is usually necessary for five- and six- term students to complete the required 120 credits to graduate.
How does experiential learning benefit my college experience?
The experiential learning process saves you time and money. You are able to complete your undergraduate degree in a shorter time frame. Each three college credits that you are awarded saves you the tuition it would cost for taking that course.
How can I get the maximum benefit from the experiential learning option?
Keep track of your course of study with your advisor. Be sure to read the Quick Guide to Advising handbook to understand the advisor/advisee relationship. Make sure that you do not take any courses that you could write about (claim). For example, if you have experienced a loss you could write a claim for Coping with Disease and Death.

April is a month when plants start growing, the weather turns warmer, and we can start looking forward to summer! We just need to get past March winds, spring showers, final papers, presentations and reports – and taxes.
While the Library cannot help you do your taxes (we are not lawyers or tax advisors), we can point you towards tax forms and places where you can get assistance.
For Federal taxes the place to start is the IRS’s website at http://www.irs.gov/. There, you will find any forms you need, answers to questions you may have, and some tools that may assist you in filing your taxes online for free. If you have a question about your taxes, or just need to get in touch with the IRS, follow the Contact IRS link at the top corner of the page.
For state taxes, start at your state’s tax website. The Massachusetts agency is the Department of Revenue located online at http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=dorhomepage&L=1&L0=Home
&sid=Ador. The Connecticut agency is the Department of Revenue Services at http://www.ct.gov/drs . If you are from another state, go to http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/link/ default.html for a link directly to your state’s tax department. Alternately, go to http://www. taxadmin.org/fta/link/forms.html for a link directly to your state’s tax form page.
If you have questions, please contact the Information Desk at (413) 748-3315 or 1-800-730-5279. You can also use the Ask the Library form to email us a question or to chat with us (AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN
Messenger). Our screen name is babsonlibrarian.
LUNCH TIME WITH THE
ASSISTANT DEAN/CAMPUS DIRECTOR
