2012 Nickel Drive 

Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Incorporated, the first and largest Latino fraternity in the country, alongside the American Heart Association, is conducting its annual Nickel Drive to benefit the AHA in research of Heart Disease, Stroke, and other related health concerns.

 Due to a lack of awareness in the Latino community, Lambda Theta Phi decided to partner with the nations' largest and oldest voluntary health organization, the American Heart Association (AHA) as its national philanthropy in 2008. Chapters across the county will mobilize to collect donations and educate the community on the third largest cause of death for Americans: heart disease and stroke, respectively. The National Executive Board has developed resources for each chapter to utilize on their respective campus.

This year national AHA nickel drive will run from January ^th, 2011 until February 29^th, 2012. All proceeds collected will be donated to the AHA. Founded in 1924, the AHA is dedicated to building lives free of heart disease and stroke through research, education, and prevention.

A reminder today we are having a meetup at Museum of Modern Art at 3pm. More information at out website www.nylambdas.net.

Civil rights lawyer Diego Bernal proved Saturday that a political neophyte can run for City Council with almost no name recognition or money and overcome opponents with both.
Bernal, 34, sailed to victory in his runoff against retired firefighter and one-time front-runner Ralph Medina. Walking into his victory party, Bernal thanked his opponent for “a good and competitive, spirited race” and said the city's first responders will have a friend and ally in the District 1 office.
“I'm really very humbled that people put their trust in me, and I'm excited about the opportunity,” Bernal said. “I think that this district needs a very diverse and aggressive City Council office, and I'm more than ready to lead that charge.”

Congrats to Rene Diaz of AA chapter for winning the NSF fellowship.

Rene was recentlly featured in article entitled "Rocket Man: Promising Space Career Awaits Engineering Grad" By Chad Binette on May 24, 2011

Here is a quick blurb form the article.

Diaz, an honors student who earned degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering this month, will head to Georgia Tech in the fall to continue his research into developing a metallic glass that is stronger than steel, more elastic than rubber, almost completely scratch resistant and inexpensive. He will collaborate with researchers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

A National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship valued at $121,500 will cover Diaz’s tuition and also pay him a stipend.

Diaz is one of 10 UCF students and recent graduates who earned NSF Graduate Research Fellowships this year. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees.
