1996, the Lamda Nu Chapter of AMG became involved in assisting the Commerce
Library Literacy Program which serves the Commerce community in assisting
interested individuals in various areas of educational advancement. The literacy
program assists individuals in GED preparation, beginner, intermediate and
advanced ESL, and individual tutoring. Several members of the chapter have
volunteered their time as individual tutors or classroom instruction. The
future looks bright for individuals seeking assistance through the Literacy
Program, as well as for those members who contribute their time. Alpha Mu
Gamma will continue to assist the Literacy Program to aid awareness and education.
