Passing the Torch Brother Rudolph Harris, PhD President, Mu Lambda Chapter Within afew weeks Brothers, we will embrace our 9*^ Annual Mu Lambda Foundation Beautillion and Gala, ARite of Passage
for nine young African-American men. The Beaux, who we honor on Saturday, April 24 at the Georgetown Conference Center, have been taught the basic guidelines of proper behavior and values needed in human development processes.
They have had the opportunity to bond and experience an enhanced sense of self worth. The Beaux, their dates, families
and sponsors have worked very hard for the 2004 GALA and I hope in some way that each of you re ect on the seriousness of our mentoring program and commit in some way to supporting this

We have changed our meeting—Our April Meeting will be in the Faculty Dining Room, Howard University Blackburn Center. We are moving back to Howard’s campus

Dr. Pollard's career in higher education includes serving as Dean of the Syracuse University School of Social Work as well as Dean and Founder of the

Please come and join the brotherhood, because this chapter meeting is an opportune time to network and meet our new Brothers: Brother Julius Jefferson, Brother Nigel Pierce, Brother Edwin Charles Chapman and Brother M.
