Alpha Sigma Lambda, the official honor society for adult learners, is delighted to congratulate Athens State University on the start of their new Upsilon Kappa chapter.

The Upsilon Kappa chapter held their inaugural induction ceremony on Nov. 5, 2023 on the Athens State University campus.  Eighteen members from the thirty-seven who were inducted were able to attend the face-to-face ceremony (pictured above).

In partnership with Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society, this new chapter seeks to recognize the special achievements of adults who accomplish academic excellence while facing competing interests at home and work. The Upsilon Kappa Chapter will be dedicated to the advancement of scholarship and recognize high scholastic achievement in an adult student’s career. By so doing, this chapter will encourage many students to continue toward and to earn associate and baccalaureate degrees.

Through leadership born of effort, both scholastically and fraternally, Alpha Sigma Lambda inspires its candidates to give of their strengths to their fellow students and communities through their academic achievements.

“Most of our adult learners are juggling school work, families, and careers, yet they still maintain a high level of academic achievement,” said Felicia Mucci, Director of Athens State’s Adult Learner Services Office.

She continues, “We are so excited to bring Alpha Sigma Lambda to our campus. It is a great way to celebrate and acknowledge our adult learners.”
