As I described, we have developed six modules from our existing content in response to volunteer feedback and to provide you better support. There is valuable information here that will help you understand and anticipate how things work, become aware of the many resources, and be more familiar with some of the language and content that is being shared with collegiate members. You can view the Volunteer Onboarding modules at edu.tke.org. I ask that you complete the six modules over the next two months and will follow up with you about that. You will also see our other online courses that are available. I encourage you to take advantage of the material and to encourage other volunteers to do the same.
Fraternity for Life Ritual
We are celebrating an online version of the FFL ritual on June 2 and June 6. Visit tke.org/events for more details. Please consider joining us and encouraging graduating seniors and other alumni as well.
Summer Series
We are offering more than a dozen interactive online sessions throughout the summer hosted by professional staff, other volunteers, and outside experts. There is also a new event being provided by St. Jude exclusively for TKE alumni and collegiates; you will find that on the schedule. Visit tke.org/summer series to view the full schedule of offerings. You can participate in all sessions or pick and choose the ones that are of greatest interest. Splitting them up among you and your fellow volunteers is a great way to build out your collective knowledge base. Registration links for each individual session are on the website.
Life Loyal Teke
I encourage every alumnus to actively support our leadership programs and educational initiatives with an annual donation to Life Loyal Teke. And I believe every volunteer shares in a greater responsibility to model the way and do their part. I am proud that every one of the Fraters on the professional staff donates to Life Loyal Teke. I ask you to contribute annually and to make Life Loyal Teke a part of your dialogue and initiatives with other alumni throughout the year. You can learn more and make a 2021 donation at tke.org/llt. If you have any other questions about Life Loyal Teke, the Chapter Assistance Program, or other Foundation giving options, I am happy to discuss more with you.
