The Western New England (WNE) University chapter of Mortar Board welcomed 41 students at the annual Mortar Board National Honor Society induction ceremony, which took place on April 10 in Rivers Memorial Hall.
Mortar Board is the senior honor society at Western New England University. The society is open to those students who have demonstrated both academic excellence and leadership on campus and in the community. Students in the top 35% of the junior class are considered eligible for the society with the membership being selected by the existing members of the previous year. The Mortar Board Society hopes to recognize student achievement, while also serving as a focal point of planning and collaboration for senior leaders.
Assistant Dean of the Career Development Center at WNE and Pynchon Chapter of Mortar Board advisor Andrea St. James was delighted to recognize rising seniors based on their outstanding leadership, scholarship, and service.
"Students are nominated by the University community and invited by the current membership to participate. It is my honor to share the list of incoming members, recognize their time and talent to the University, and serve as the advisor for the Western New England University Pynchon Chapter of Mortar Board."
