Fall Colloquium
The Chapter's Fall Colloquium, normally held in September and entitled “The Vocation to Public Service,” explores the motivation for public service and public service as an honorable life's calling. Each year, a notable public servant is invited to speak to the Chapter about one's perspective concerning these important topics. In recognition of the speaker's contributions and achievements, the Chapter awards the speaker an Honorary Membership in the Pi Alpha Alpha Villanova University Chapter.
