Last month, the Alpha Chi Chapter of the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society held its annual spring induction ceremony at the William Pitt Union on the Oakland campus.
The event was part of the Excellence Reception hosted by CGS Student Government to celebrate the achievements of faculty, staff, and students in the College of General Studies.
Special guests at the event were ASL Alpha Chi's 1st president and founding member, Carol Cushman, and one of the first charter members and the chapter's 3rd president, Mary Synan.
Mrs. Cushman welcomed the new inductees and shared her journey to CGS, recounting the beginning years of the chapter and the CGS non-traditional student experience in the 1970s.
ASL Alpha Chi was established at CGS in 1973 to recognize and honor the academic accomplishments of CGS's non-traditional students.
