Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society has recognized ONU's Pi Iota Chapter with one of its' Best Chapter Awards for 2008-2009.
The award letter from National President Nancy McManus designates Pi Iota as one of the local chapters that are "particularly active in their departments and universities and exhibits high levels of energy and creativity in furthering the goals of the honor society.
The national organization recognizes four chapters from among schools with enrollment under 6,000 students, and the award also carries a $250 cash award along with a certificate for framing. In addition to notifying President Baker, the national organization also will publicize the award in the fall issue of the Pi Sigma Alpha Newsletter, and in the American Political Science Associations' (APSA) quarterly journal PS: Political Science and Politics. Award winners will also be featured in APSA's Pi Sigma Alpha display at their convention in Toronto in September.
Among the activities that earned plaudits for the chapter were sponsorship of the spring HPJ Picnic, presentation of conference papers, and help preparing and sending surveys to presidential electors last spring.
Well done Pi Iota!
