Jon Osacky ‘16.5 recognized for creating phone application, Meter for Uber
Just yesterday, Internet culture website, the Daily Dot, acknowledged Gamma Zeta Undergraduate Jon Osacky for creating the Android, and soon to be I-phone application, Meter for Uber. Meter for Uber gives Uber users a breakdown of exactly what they are paying for when they decide to ride with Uber.
Osacky came up with the idea while he was interning in California for another phone application company called Slice. Since he did not have a car, Osacky depended on Uber to get him from place to place and became interested in how Uber calculates its final cost. From here, Osacky began working and developing what would eventually become Meter for Uber.
Currently, Osacky is back in California interning for Facebook and will remain there over summer for an internship with Uber.

Congrats Jon on all your achievements, and I’m sure there will be many more to come!

Docs Seth Berl and Tom “TSully” Sullivan ’78s leading medical mission trip to Honduras – need help!!
Docs Seth and TSully ’78s in Honduras
Hello Guys,
Please take a look at the note below from Dr. Seth Berl ’78 regarding his upcoming medical mission trip to Honduras along with dentist, Dr. Tom “TSully” Sullivan. Seth is leading two groups who will stay one week each with the first group leaving February 28. I realize that this is very late notice to participate but it never hurts to ask. Maybe some of you have been thinking about doing something like this and just need someone to reach out and say “let’s go”. And… how cool would it be if a group of Gamma Zeta ATOs would come together … “to have no narrower limits within which to work together for the elevation of man than the outlines of the world“.
If you’d be interested in joining Seth and TSully, please contact Seth at sberl@moultriega.net or 229-850-0019. They also welcome donations. Please send checks payable to Heritage Church and mail to:
