Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society

College of Adult Scholars & Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society Dinner

When: Sunday, April 27, 2008
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Community Room of the Christopher Center Library at VU

Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society is a national honor society that recognizes the hard work, dedication, and achievements of outstanding nontraditional students. There are presently 81 members and 14 honorary faculty members in Alpha Sigma Lambda’s Alpha Tau Chapter at Valparaiso University which began in 1999. It is a non-profit organization devoted to the advancement of scholarship and leadership among adults continuing their education. Established in 1945, the Society has over 300 chapters throughout the United States. Thirteen new members were inducted in April 2007.

The mission of the Alpha Tau chapter is to create a comfortable atmosphere for the nontraditional student body by not only becoming a liaison between students and the administration, but also to assist and guide new and returning students on the path to a successful and pleasant learning experience at VU.

ASL has worked on community service projects as well as fund-raisers. In the past, Alpha Sigma Lambda participated in the campus-wide Adopt-a-Family program, helping to provide Christmas gifts and necessities for a low income family. Alpha Sigma Lambda has also sold sweatshirts and t-shirts that feature the College of Adult Scholars logo. Through ASL's fundraising efforts, the Alpha Tau chapter has awarded three, $500 scholarships to college of adult scholars for the past three years.

To be eligible for nomination, a student must be:

1. 25 years or older;
2. matriculated;
3. have a minimum of 30 graded credit hours, of which 15 are outside of the major. (Transfer credits are not included.);
4. have a minimum GPA of 3.2;
5. in the top 10% of the class.
