(BEAVER FALLS, Pa.) – Geneva College announces establishment of a local chapter of the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society, which partners with colleges and universities to celebrate the scholarship and leadership of adult students in higher education. Geneva’s chapter, Tau Alpha, will host its first induction ceremony in spring 2019.

Induction into Alpha Sigma Lambda provides instant recognition by peers from institutions nationwide and conveys another point of distinction to showcase to employers and graduate programs.

Geneva College Dean of Graduate, Adult, and On-Line Programs, John Gallo says, “The partnership with Alpha Sigma Lambda through Geneva’s local Tau Alpha chapter demonstrates our commitment to helping our non-traditional Geneva students be recognized nationally for their academic excellence.”

Criteria for induction are established by the national office and includes: being enrolled in first baccalaureate degree, completion of 24 credits in academic major and earned a career GPA in the top 20% of the class. Geneva Adult Degree Program students will be notified by the Department of Professional and Online Graduate Studies in January 2019 of eligibility; no application is necessary.

Students inducted into the Tau Alpha chapter are recognized at graduation and receive a special stole to wear at commencement. Additional information about Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society is available at: https://www.alphasigmalambda.org/.
