New Honors Societies Available in Sociology and Anthropology
Sociology and anthropology students will have three new organizations to join on Truman’s campus by the end of Spring 2011.
More than a year ago, the Department of Society and Environment had the idea to start a Cultural and Societal Honors Society. That vision became a reality during Fall 2010 when students Jessica Bernstetter and Katherine Olsen Flaate helped initiate a chapter at Truman and the group inducted 13 members.
The honors society accepts all sociology/anthropology majors who have completed at least six hours of sociology/anthropology coursework at Truman with a GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 in this major coursework.
In Spring 2011, the same department will induct charter members into two additional organizations, both national honors societies. Alpha Kappa Delta, a sociology honors society, will be open to students with at least 12 completed hours in sociology and a GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 overall and in sociology classes.
Elaine McDuff, associate professor of sociology, will be the faculty sponsor for this organization.
Lambda Alpha, a national honors society for anthropology, will be open to students with at least 12 completed hours of anthropology and a GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 both overall and in anthropology courses.
Amber Johnson, associate professor of anthropology, is the faculty sponsor.
Students interested in learning more about the Cultural and Societal Honors Society, Alpha Kappa Delta or Lambda Alpha should contact Johnson at ajohnson@truman.edu or McDuff at emcduff@truman.edu.
