Marsh, Strauss inducted into honor society

Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania recently held its Alpha Alpha Alpha (Tri-Alpha) Honor Society induction ceremony. Kayla Marsh, of Bath, and Justin Strauss, of Coplay, were two of the 56 students recognized with induction into the honor society that promotes academic excellence, leadership development and campus and community service for first-generation college students.

Induction into Tri-Alpha is earned by outstanding academic achievement and lasts for a lifetime. The society’s mission is to encourage and reward academic excellence among first-generation college students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in accredited institutions of higher learning.

Tri-Alpha membership is by chapter invitation for eligible students who must be a current full-time degree candidate in an associate degree or baccalaureate program, has completed at least three full-time semesters of study (minimum 36 credits), at least one of which must have been at the institution where they are being inducted (for transfer students), who has an overall grade-point average of at least 3.2 in all coursework and who comes from a family where neither parent nor any legal guardians earned a bachelor’s degree.

Bloomsburg University is one of 14 universities in Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education. The university serves approximately 8,600 students, offering comprehensive programs of study in the colleges of education, business, liberal arts and science and technology.
