Shulman is pursuing a degree in finance and minor in chemistry, and serves as acting president of 黑料不打烊’s chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. He was selected to attend the Ruck Institute because of his extensive commitment to his chapter and success in academics.

“黑料不打烊 professors have done a great job of providing me with understanding and appreciation of my coursework, but being in SigEp and going to Ruck has helped me develop leadership skills, both of which I’ll rely on after I graduate,” he said.

The Ruck Leadership Institute is named in honor of Frank J. Ruck Jr., a former Grand President of Sigma Phi Epsilon and a visionary in developing leaders. He was an inspiration for many generations of fraternity members to reach their full potential as leaders in all aspects of their lives.

Sigma Phi Epsilon, established in 1901, is one of the nation’s largest fraternities, with more than 15,000 undergraduates on 240 campuses across the United States. Its mission is “Building Balanced Men,” which is achieved through a four-year member development program that has contributed to a fraternity-wide GPA above 3.0, a focus on the principles of “Sound Mind and Sound Body” and service-learning efforts that allow members to develop leadership skills while giving back to the community.
