Faculty advisor Dr. Hilary Donatini welcomed the group, noting this this was her tenth year advising the chapter at AU. Co-President Bethany Meadows then explained how students could become involved in our chapter activities. Co-President Corinne Spisz gave a heartfelt introduction to the speaker, Dr. Russell Weaver, whom the inductees chose for the event. Dr. Weaver explored his reasons for teaching and studying literature before leading a thought-provoking discussion of Emily Dickinson's poem, "My Life Had Stood a Loaded Gun." While taking photos after the ceremony, it was discovered that the mother of inductee Sydney Ross had Dr. Weaver for a class when she attended AU in the 1990s!
