Ten non-traditional/adult students at SUNY Cortland have been elected to membership in Alpha Sigma Lambda, an international honor society honoring the academic achievement of undergraduate students over the age of 24, as well as those who, regardless of age, have dependent children.
Alpha Sigma Lambda national standards honors students who are in the top 20 percent of all students at SUNY Cortland age 24 or older who have completed 24 credits of work at SUNY Cortland with a grade point average of 3.2 or better. For the inductees to be in the top 20 percent of students at SUNY Cortland this year, they needed to have a grade point average of 3.68 or higher. The GPA range for this group of students inducted was 3.68 to 4.0.
Cheryl Smith, advisement and transition, is chapter councilor and coordinator of student outreach and non-traditional student support.
