On April 14, 2014, Betta Kappa Psi is having their first Women's Appreciation Dinner of the Spring 2014 semester.

The Women's Appreciation Dinner will take place in the University Center Greek Lounge from 7:30 p.m to 9:30 p.m. The event will consist of vegetarian and Spanish cuisine, fountain drinks, and faculty members will be given personalized rewards for their hard work and dedication to students.

This is not the first time that Betta Kappa Psi is having this event. Betta Kappa Psi brother and Public Relations Director, Brent Clarke explained the reason behind choosing to have the event again this year.

“It was done by some of our older brothers in the past and we thought it was a great idea. We feel that some faculty members should be awarded by not only the university but [by] the students [because] it shows that they are not underappreciated,” said Clarke.

The Women's Appreciation Dinner this semester will include six organizations at Kean University. Some of these organizations include fraternity members, sorority members, and even men and women groups.

Clarke explained the names of the six organizations that are hosting the event. Some of them are even new organizations, like a women's online magazine club.

“ Elite, Betta Kappa Psi, Beta Kappa Sigma, Mens Group, Women's Circle, Her Campus, [and] Black Rose Society,” said Clarke.

Clarke explained some of the faculty members that are being honored at the dinner this year. They are people that students know from being in the University Center, as well as teachers that teach electives at the college.

“...prospective honorees include Sandra Espinal, Ms. Daisy, [and] Dr. Bowe,” said Clarke.
Kyle Seales newly recent Betta Kappa Psi brother that just crossed over earlier during this Spring semester, explained what each of these female faculty members mean to him. He also explained the main reasons why they deserve to be highly recognized and awarded by Kean.

“It's always great to have a person who has your back and looks for the best in you. We wanted to show love towards these facutly members and to make it [them] know how much we appreciate them,” said Seales.

Seales also explained that this Women's Appreciation Dinner should be a tradition at Kean.
“We can keep continuing [to] host [the] dinner in the near future to show we appreciate our women faculty,” said Seales.
