The Rotaract Club of Brookhaven College was ceremoniously revived on Friday, October 4 with an officer installation at the campus. The club had been inactive for some years, but is now being restored under the direction of Andrew Deibert, Brookhaven’s Service Learning and Civic Engagement Coordinator. Deibert led the campus’ Serve club last year, a student organization dedicated to community service, but welcomed the opportunity to engage students in service while associating with an international organization such as Rotary.

 

The ceremony included installation of this year’s officers by CFB Rotary Club President Sid Fuller, an inaugural speech by Rotaract President Chukwuka “John” Umeojiako, a pinning of the new members by the newly installed officers, and closing remarks by Youth Services Co-Chair Pete Cross. Other installed officers include Vice President Endy Lira, Secretary Raisha Ferguson, Treasurer Genesis Lopez, and Director of Public Information Ifeanyi Okoro. Family and friends of the new members, as well as several board members from the CFB Rotary, also attended the cake-and-punch reception to celebrate the honorees.
