    The Proposal

    This is the proposal I wrote up a few weeks ago for the Wine Enthusiast of Towson University Wine Club I am trying to start. Hopefully everything will go right- I've got the staff advisor, the alumni advisor and a great argument. The only thing that can go wrong is the university blindly denying my right to share the passion and knowledge of wine to Towson University.


    In anycase, please have a look for yourself:
    Wine Enthusiast of Towson University (Oenophiles)

    The Wine Enthusiast of Towson University is an organization that strives to expand the intellectual capacity of students and faculty alike, by introducing them to the world of wine. "En vino veritas," Latin for "In wine, there is truth," is a phrase held dearly by wine enthusiast, also known as oenophiles, worldwide. This club hopes to generate education and passion by exploring the history, culture, trends, oenology and trade of wine, as well as promoting responsible drinking through a social medium to those of legal drinking age.

    WETU believes that organizing larger group events involving wine and wine tastings provides a unique opportunity to unite diverse parts of the Towson demographic, including students, faculty and staff, to promote better social understanding and group interaction within the community. This will be accomplished through bi-weekly, club-sanctioned wine tastings, in efforts to explore and discover the many regions, varietals and styles of fine wine. The club hopes to focus on discerning the various complexities of wine through tasting, as well as to also delve into the importance of wine in American culture as well as other cultures worldwide, with emphasis on education and knowledge.

    By promoting and introducing the educational aspects of wine to a small group of interested, passionate and wine-knowledgeable members, the club will attempt to emphasize the learning and appreciation of wine on-campus. Furthermore, the University will have capability to organize, sanction and host large-scale events for the campus and the administration with the consultation and expertise of a well-versed wine club at hand.

    WETU strives to be founded on the principles that good education, deep passion and fine wine are meant to be shared with the public. It hopes to bring the truth, culture, current and future trends of the wine industry to the Towson University Community by promoting responsible drinking and sensible socialization. Carpe Vinum
