THIS WEEK’S CAMPUS CALENDAR · NOVEMBER 5
Heart On Da Shield puts heart-health awareness on FAMU’s agenda
Florida A&M University’s official calendar listed Heart On Da Shield for Thursday, November 5, 2026, 6–8 p.m. EST, at B.L. Perry in Tallahassee, hosted by Iota Phi Theta. The description combines education, community engagement and practical lifestyle guidance to raise awareness of heart disease in the Black community, particularly among men.
The scheduled date has passed. The university listing verifies the host, subject, time and place; it does not establish attendance, medical outcomes or a completed-event recap. We found no published results to report. The listing does not name a chapter or show an original posting date, so neither is inferred here.
This is a quieter confirmed-news edition. Its focus is local, useful programming rather than unverified national headlines.

LOOKING AHEAD · NOVEMBER 14
Houston’s Gamma Upsilon Omega co-hosts a veterans brunch
Gamma Upsilon Omega’s organizer listing advertises Veterans Day Brunch — A Celebration of Service on November 14, 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m. CST, at Crestmont Community Center, 5200 Selinsky Road, Houston. It names Kappa Lambda Chi’s Alpha Kappa chapter and the Houston Professional Chapter of Iota Sweethearts as partners, with brunch and veterans recognition planned.
Veterans, families and supporters are invited. The page lists free parking and no refunds. Its ticket metadata currently indicates available free and paid options, up to $108.39, with sales ending November 13 at 11:30 p.m. CST. Select the appropriate admission or vendor category and confirm the final terms; a free option does not mean every category is free.
The chapter website confirms Gamma Upsilon Omega’s Houston-area identity. This is a chapter-and-partner event, not a national conference. Original announcement date is not displayed. Contact the organizer about accessibility or accommodation needs not addressed in the listing.

Quick answers
Does the FAMU listing prove the program took place as planned?
No. It establishes the advertised schedule and purpose. Without a post-event account, we do not claim attendance or outcomes.
Is every Houston brunch ticket category free?
No. The organizer’s listing includes free and paid options, including vendor participation. Choose the correct category and review its terms before registering.
Keep the dates—and the sources—together
Share the organizer’s link when making plans. A published calendar entry is not proof of attendance or results, and a ticket listing can change after this edition is checked. Follow the Iota Phi Theta blog for the next dated edition.
