SIGMA NU, CHAPTER ADVISOR
Described by nominators as one of Sigma Nu’s most dedicated local volunteers, von Nirschl exemplifies leadership through the Gamma Mu Chapter. Despite being a resident of Washington, D.C., he advises his home chapter at the University of Illinois remotely but also makes extended stays near Champaign. In the 10 years he has served as Chapter Advisor, he has grown the local advisory board, played a key role in housing including leading a capital campaign to care for chapter’s 88-year-old historic mansion and established a scholarship for area high-schoolers in the Sigma Nu name. The chapter has grown from 15 to 100 members under his leadership. “He is one of the most dedicated and passionate volunteers that I have ever worked with. David truly embodies the Sigma Nu vision of Excelling with Honor,” one nominator said.
