UOG students to be inducted into national honor society
On May 6, the University of Guam Political Science Program will host the 19th initiation of UOG students into Pi Sigma Alpha, the U.S. national honor society for students of political science and government. The initiation will take place at 12:30pm in the private room of the V.I.P. House Restaurant located at the Pacific Bay Hotel in Tumon.
This year, three students from Guam will be inducted into the local chapter and the national society: Thovie R. Gonzales, Edward E. Leon Guerrero, and Luisa V. Tenorio.
To be accepted into the Pi Sigma Alpha honor society, eligible students must achieve a 3.0 grade point average in political science courses and rank in the top third of their university in general academic performance.
Founded in 1920, Pi Sigma Alpha now has 740 chapters at colleges and universities throughout the 50 States. The University of Guam’s Pi Sigma Alpha chapter—the only chapter in an insular territory of the United States—began in 1996 and includes attorneys, college faculty, and government officials on Guam, in Palau and in the Federated States of Micronesia, as well as in the United States.
