WHAT IS AHS?

AHS is an extracurricular student organization whose membership is comprised solely of Eastern honors students. Officially, the purpose of the organization is to promote leadership, strengthen fellowship, and enhance academic ability of its members through social and philanthropic events. Essentially, we are a group of students who come together to share ideas and have a good time.

 

WHAT DOES AHS DO?

AHS holds meetings every other Thursday and offers several social and service events throughout the month. Attendance at meetings and events is optional but we're glad to have you at AHS when you have the time. Past events that have become part of AHS tradition include; roller skating, Halloween festivities, volunteering at local nursing homes, collecting for a local food pantry, pizza parties, and more!

 

WHO ARE THE AHS OFFICERS?

President – Lisa Cerny
My name is Lisa Cerny and I am returning as AHS president for this year. I am a senior history education major. We provide both social and philanthropic events. Our philanthropy events provide members with an opportunity to serve the community while visiting with friends. This year, I am planning a day trip to Indianapolis for the group in February!

 

Vice-President – Keri Carroll
Keri Carroll, a sophomore English major, is serving as vice-president this year. Keri is in charge of planning the Progressive Dinner. For the dinner, honors students carpool to professor's houses to have a meal. Keri also invites deans and heads of departments to join AHS for meetings and events. New this year, Keri is organizing a forum to educate students about the University's departmental honors program.

 

Treasurer – Stefan Aydt
I am Stefan Aydt, a junior math education major and this year's AHS treasurer. Dues for membership in AHS this year will be $10. Also, all members are strongly encouraged to purchase an AHS t-shirt for $12 because the money raised from dues and t-shirts provides most of the budget for our activities during the year.

 

Secretary – Korey Adkins
Welcome to the honors program! I am Korey Adkins, a communication and biology major, as well as the secretary for AHS. AHS annually awards the Dean Herbert Laskey scholarship to a member receiving a designated number of points in the organization.  Points are awarded based on attendance at meetings, social events, and philanthropy events.

 

Social Chair – Rachael Jannusch
Hi! I am Rachael Jannusch, a sophomore dietetics major. As social chair, I am planning some pretty awesome events for the upcoming year. Besides planning activities at meetings, I am working on planning monthly outings for the organization, such as hiking at Turkey Run, roller-skating, movie nights, days at the student rec center, and a board game night. I also plan an annual Halloween Dance with admission being a canned food donation for the local food pantry.

 

Philanthropy Chairs – Katie Kruger and Jessica Klaus
Katie Kruger, sophomore math education major, and Jessica Klaus, sophomore political science major, are serving as co-philanthropy chairs. This year there will be many opportunities for everyone to make a difference in the community. Along with regular trips to a nursing home in Charleston and tutoring at the local Teen Reach, we will participate in various community service projects throughout the year.  We organize our annual Trick-or-Souping fundraiser for Charleston 's food pantry, a team for Eastern's Relay for Life, and we're planning on collaborating with Eastern's chapter of Habitat for Humanity chapter for a day of building.
