4. Mace Project (status: COMPLETED - May 2003) November 9, 2002 - Initial idea for a ceremonial mace was suggested to the club by Bill George at Homecoming 2002. The “50 Friends” campaign was announced to raise money for the mace. December 19, 2002 - The Upsilon Xi Website was enhanced to allow donations to be made to Upsilon via credit card. This enhancement will not only benefit the 50 Friends campaign, but will also make it easier to make future contributions. March/April 2003 – Nick Humble reported that we had raised enough money to purchase the mace. March 2003 – Bill George met with Dr. Conn and finalized the design of the mace. April 2003 – Bill George put in the final order for the mace. Early May 2003 – The Mace arrived and was presented to Lee University as a gift of the members and alumni of Upsilon Xi. May 19, 2003 - The Mace was officially used for the first time in a Lee University graduation ceremony. It was carried by Upsilon alumnus, Dr. Mark Wickam.

5. Redesign the Upsilon Xi Website (status: COMPLETED - July 2003) March/April 2003 – Began looking at possible designs that would be both professional and functional. Mid-May 2003 -Settled on a template and began drawings and special schemes that would support the rollout of the new design. Early June 2003 – Began work on the new images and graphical design elements that would make up the new website. Early June 2003 – Upgraded software systems and began coding the new website using Microsoft Frontpage. Most pages were redesigned at the same time as the graphics work was being done. Mid-June 2003 – Teamed with Wayne Slocumb to do more graphics work. Wayne designed elements to go on the secondary pages and provided excellent code and high quality designs. Late-June 2003 – Began uploading the new pages to the website and beta-testing the new pages. Beta-testing took about three weeks. July 2003 – Launched the new Upsilon Xi Website

6. Alumni Directory & Database (status: COMPLETED - November 2003) April 6, 2003 - Met with Bill George in Washington DC and discussed my idea for the creation of a database that could be used to network members and alumni of Upsilon Xi. May 2003 – Formally announced the creation of this database in an article entitled, “Lessons from a Secret Society,” which was printed in the Black & Gray Newsletter. June 2003 – Contacted Kevin Brooks in the Lee University Alumni Office to see how we might be able to partner with Lee in this effort. July 2003 - Launched an e-mail/website effort to gather data and continued work for the next few months... I asked Wayne Slocumb to start thinking of ideas for the design to give him plenty of time to come up with something significant. September 2003 - Bill George and Kevin Brooks organized a "phonecall session" through President Jonny Moore and Alumni Coordinator B.J. Johnson. October 2003 - After working on the database for several months, the final copy of the database was e-mailed to Bill George for additional work. November 2003 - The final copy was given to Wayne Slocumb for final manipulation and editing. Wayne worked tirelessly to make everything look professional and classy.
