Alpha Sigma Lambda nontraditional honor society inducts new members
Monday, June 18, 2018
MANHATTAN – Kansas State University inducted 38 students into the university's chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda for 2018.
The national honor society was founded in 1945 and recognizes adult students who achieve and maintain high scholastic standards. It is the oldest and largest chapter-based honor society for full- and part-time undergraduate adult students.
New members were inducted at the Kansas State University Global Campus Honors and Awards Reception April 25.
"Nontraditional students often face additional challenges than the average college student, balancing career, family and community obligations," said Rebecca Dale, academic advisor and student services coordinator at Kansas State University Global Campus. "This year’s inductees have demonstrated an inspiring commitment to learning and have achieved at the highest levels academically.”
To be eligible to join Kansas State University's Omega Xi chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda, nontraditional students must be currently enrolled with a minimum of 24 credit hours completed toward an undergraduate degree program at the university and have a cumulative K-State GPA of 3.2 or higher.
