Congratulations to the recent inductees into the Gamma Mu Seattle University chapter of Tau Sigma, a national honor society that recognizes and promotes academic excellence and leadership in transfer students. Students who earn a 3.5 GPA or higher in their first quarter after transferring are invited to join Tau Sigma. On February 19, 2020, a total of 96 students were welcomed into the Gamma Mu chapter. Among those inducted were the 2019 Alfie Scholars: Ernesto Chacón (Political Science), Haley Cummins (Strategic Communications), Lorra Hernon (Nursing), Hailey McNally (Nursing), Adrian Nava (Nursing), Sophie Zandel (Nursing), Mariah Moreno (Diagnostic Ultrasound), Christiana Tembo (Electrical Engineering), Elizabeth Vargas (Social Work). “I felt very honored and proud because as a first-gen student, I never thought I’d make it this far. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity,” said Nava upon reflecting on his recent induction. Hernon echoed a similar sentiment when she said, “I felt honored to be included in an organization that acknowledges the accomplishments of transfer students and continues to encourage them on their educational journey.”
It was an evening filled with a sense of accomplishment, honor, laughter, and lots of cheers.
