The University of Scranton held a ceremony for the newly inducted Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL) members on April 18 in The DeNaples Center. This honor society recognizes the academic excellence of part-time and full-time adult students.
Dr. Robert McKeage, associate professor in management and marketing, was the invited guest speaker for the ceremony. Current members of ASL, Michael Boyd, Jennifer Jezorwski and Bethany A. Purdy, presented the new inductees with their membership. The new inductees are: Christopher Carey, Meredith Colohan, Theresa Foster, Shawna Hogan, Deborah Nealon, Kerri Occhipinti, Megan Osborne, Edward Raposo, Jessica Rogan and Mary Ann Wiggins.
Alpha Sigma Lambda was established in 1945-46 to honor superior scholarship and leadership in adult students. This is a prestigious organization that recognizes the special achievements of adults who accomplish academic excellence while facing competing interests of family, community and work. Members are selected only from the highest 10 percent of the class who have 24 graded credits and are matriculated in an undergraduate degree program. Those selected must have a minimum GPA of 3.2.
