That's a Lot of Burgers!

March Donor Spotlight:

University of Texas Chapter of Omega Chi Epsilon

Heart House was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Joseph Chen, Vice-President of Omega Chi Epsilon (OXE), a Chemical Engineering honor society at the University of Texas at Austin, informing us that OXE had raised $1,500 and wanted to donate the money to Heart House.

A past officer of OXE had been a Heart House volunteer and convinced the society to direct its proceeds to us. How had OXE brought in these funds? By flipping burgers on the quad and feeding hungry UT students!

OXE’s concession stand is just one of the society’s many initiatives, which include: sponsoring student-faculty and alumni activities; providing tutorial services to chemical engineering students; assembling chemical engineering graduate school information and providing career guidance to high school students.

Heart House thanks Joseph and the other members of OXE for this generous donation, and looks forward to OXE’s next visit to Heart House when OXE will perform science experiments for the children.
