The York University chapter of Alpha Chi, the collegiate national honor society, inducted three new members at a ceremony in the Prayer Chapel, April 18.
New members inducted included undergraduate students Aidan Keyes (Grand Island, Neb.), Mariah Janda (Salina, Kan.), and McKenzie Stricker (Broomfield, Colo.).
Alpha Chi is an academic honor society that recognizes and promotes excellence in scholarship among college and university students of good character. Classified as a general honor society, meaning that it accepts members from all academic fields, Alpha Chi inducts no more than the top 10 percent of junior, senior, and graduate students at member institutions. Members receive recognition as distinguished students and members of one of the largest college honor societies in the world.
Dr. Shannon Leinen, YU provost, congratulated the students as the first York University inductees into the honor society.
Returning members of Alpha Chi are Timberly Carr (Henderson, Neb.), Makayla Dinkler (Bladen, Neb.), Laura-Kate Eckhart (York, Neb.), Madison Gookin (Rye, Colo.), Allison Myers (Kansas City, Mo.), Maryn Phillips (Topeka, Kans.), Wagner Simoes Do Nascimento (Sedalia, Mo.), and Hannah Splattstoesser (Scottsbluff, Neb.).
Faculty sponsors Dr. Terry Seufferlein, professor of Bible, and Dr. Terence Kite, professor of physics, lead the York University chapter.
