Hello everyone, and welcome to the end of the fifth week of classes! That sentence should have read “welcome back to the fall semester!” but my blogging has unfortunately taken a back seat to other responsibilities as of late. In any case, I am happy today to post a Student Shout-Out to our new Lambda Pi Eta members!
Lambda Pi Eta is the official honors society of the National Communication Association. Our Lambda Pi Eta chapter, the Kappa Iota chapter, received its charter in 1999. However, after the initial small group of inductees graduated, the chapter became inactive until it was revived in 2004, when we inducted three members. In the years since, we have inducted (by my guesstimation) about 160 members. This year, we were pleased to induct the following students as lifelong members of Lambda Pi Eta:
Reimi Akin
Carolina Aguilar-Gutierrez
Cassidy Davis
Amy Fiene
Noelle Haskell
Azkia Muhammad
Becca Najjar
Jannely Rodriguez
Monica Salvador
Isabella Tumabat-Pratt
Louisa Viana
I would also like to introduce our officers for the 2016-2017 academic year:
Azkia Muhammad, President
Noelle Haskell, Vice President
Seleba Ouattara, Treasurer
Kianna Fernandez, Vice President of Public Relations
Becca Najjar, Secretary
They are doing a great job and have a lot of events and activities planned for our departemnt this year.
Also, a big thank you to all of the family and friends who joined us at our induction ceremony! It was wonderful to have their support!

Sadly, I was too busy eating cake to take a picture of all of our new inductees (major fail on my part), but suffice it to say a nice time was had by all!
Lambda Pi Eta hosts a mentorship program for all new Communication Studies majors. If you haven’t yet signed up and are interested in being partnered with a Lambda Pi Eta mentor to help welcome you to our department, please contact me at edoohan@usfca.edu.
Finally, our officers are working on designing new Lambda Pi Eta sweatshirts or t-shirts that will be sold in our brand new e-store! Stay tuned for details!
