鈥淚 am so honored to be recognized and it has further motivated me to continue working hard in and out of the classroom!鈥 said Smith, a Political Science Major with a concentration in Law and a Minor in Communications.
鈥淚t takes exceptional effort by students to earn this recognition,鈥 said Mu Nu Chapter Advisor Dr. Charles DiStefano. Invitations were received by Juniors and Seniors in the top third of their class who have completed at least four political science courses with a B average or higher.
