Each week I receive a dispatch from SPJ membership guru Linda Hall. It includes stats about overall membership, and noteworthy news. This week’s message was especially heartening: We have eight new chapters and nine reactivated ones. A reactivated chapter is one that may have gone dormant for any number of reasons but has met the requirements to officially rejoin the ranks of the Society (see “Restoring Chapters to Good Standing” on the Start an SPJ Chapter page).

Welcome–and welcome back!

• Texas Panhandle Pro – Region 8
• Tarleton State University - Region 8
• Canisius College – Region 1
• Webster University – Region 7
