Truman’s chapter of Theta Alpha Kappa, a national honor society for religious studies, inducted two new members, Alison Stagner and Amy Johnson, in a special meeting May 8.

Established in 1976, Theta Alpha Kappa has grown to more than two hundred chapters nationally, ranging from smaller liberal arts colleges to large public research institutions. It is the only national honor society dedicated to promoting academic excellence in baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate students in the field of religious studies. The society also maintains a vigorous national program of scholarship and fellowship competitions, including annual awards and the publication of outstanding student papers.
