For those dedicating their years here at Seton Hill University (SHU) to studying the process of communication and different ways to use conversation and spread the message, there is now a new way to gain recognition.
The Communications Honor Society is new this year, thanks to Jack Ciak, assistant professor of communication.
There is currently no Communications Club at SHU; however, there is one in the making.
One of the inductees, Cory Weibel, a senior, said, �This program is for the students with 60 credits in communications with a 3.25 grade point average (GPA) and an overall 3.0 GPA.�
There are 14 upper class communication majors that have met the requirements to be inducted as members of the National Communications Honors Society which is the Phi Gamma Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta, said Landon Etchings, a senior.
These members include seniors Landon Etchings, Emily Evans, Mellissa Fox, Erika Nelson, Kathleen Ward, Cory Weibel, Melissa Whiteman, and Brandon Whitfield; and also juniors Amy Capozzi, Amy Dugan, Allyson Hepler, Victoria Mara, Andrea Perkins, and Marcus Thompson.
�To this date we have not elected any person to a specific leadership position. Klapak’s �Integrated Study Seminar�’s students, myself included, are responsible for putting together the program for the induction ceremony,� said Etchings.
The induction ceremony was held on Thursday, November 16, 2006 in the Administration Building parlors, with refreshments following.
�I am glad to be a part of this and I am thankful that Dr. Ciak has taken the time and made the effort to do something so nice for the communication majors,� said Victoria Mara, a junior.
