A cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher is required along with an endorsement of faculty. Students are not required to approach individual faculty members in order to be endorsed. Once you apply Dr. Bhat (the Alpha Chapter faculty advisor) will check in with faculty regarding any concerns or reservations they might have.

2. Select Alpha Chapter as your chapter and pay the fee by credit card online
3. Send Dr. Bhat an email informing her that you have applied and copy and paste your most recent DARS report showing GPA in the email (bhatc at ohio.edu<mailto:bhatc at ohio.edu>).
4. CSI will contact Dr Bhat to check if the faculty endorses your application
5. If yes, your credit card will be charged and your membership will be processed.

BANQUET INFORMATION
The Alpha Chapter of CSI banquet is scheduled for Saturday May 7, 6:00 PM at the Baker Center.
Our guest of honor is Kelley S. Schubert, MS, LSC, the current president of the Ohio Counseling Association and a school counselor in Columbus.

During the banquet new members of the honor society will be inducted and graduating students will be honored. Meal tickets are likely to be $20 per head and students are encouraged to bring family members and friends as guests. More information about how tickets can be purchased will be available soon. The Alpha Chapter of CSI runs a blind auction after dinner as a fund raiser for programs held during the year. If you have new items that you would like to donate to the auction or if you have a business contact to secure a donation please assist with securing donations. Alex Reed (jr303907 at ohio.edu<mailto:jr303907 at ohio.edu>), current VP should be informed if you are doing this so that someone else does not approach the same business.

Any questions? Please contact Dr Bhat (bhatc at ohio.edu<mailto:bhatc at ohio.edu>) or Alpha Chapter president Laney Preston (laneypreston at yahoo.com<mailto:laneypreston at yahoo.com>)
